Cliff Jumping? Anyone?

Today I went with my cousins and some friends to Pagat Cave. Its actually one of the 11 historic, endangered sites from around the country. (http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1989913_2138849,00.html) We hiked to the cliffs, but half way there were the caves with freshwater and inside are hieroglyphics. I don't have any pictures of that because we had to be totally submerged in water to get in to the caves so I didn't bring my camera. It was definitely FUN and I made lots of friends! We hiked all the way to the cliffside. Most of us jumped off! It was insane, tiring and SO much fun! Here are some pics!

Some of us on top of the cliff

It was such a clear day! This is where we swam to after we made the jump.





Getting back up was the tough part! You had to be extremely careful about footholds. It was SUCH a rush!






My hands after the climb up. Next time I'm bringing an extra pair of gloves! 

Dolores, Maria and I on top of the cliffs. We took a short break for lunch.


Going back up was tough too. There were lots of ropes previous hikers left to help us up. 
Maria had to use a walking stick most of the way back up because she slammed her knee into some rocks earlier.
JJB LL Fuel Cell came along as well!
