an does "Spidey" Leap, Falls 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
y friends and I went camping by a four-wheeling trail for a graduation celebration. Like normal grad parties this included a keg and a few bottles of liquor. So around two in the morning, the few of us that were still doing keg stands, saw some very tall rocks and thought it would be fun to (in the dark) climb them. It was fairly easy getting up to the top, but it was getting down that ended up being almost deadly.
y friend, Chris Jene, decided he could jump about six feet to a rock, cling to it like "Spider Man", and shimmy down the rest of the thirty-foot drop. So, drunken and confident, he carried on with his plan. He jumped a little too hard and hit the front side of his head on his destination rock, falling backwards hitting the back of his head, then tumbling between the two cliffs for the rest of the thirty foot drop. For him the night ended with a concussion, a broken arm and a series of gashes covering his body. He couldn't remember where he was until 5 am, but other than that, luck stood between him and extinction.
