deep water soloing

In Kraby I was jumping off rocks that stuck out into the ocean. As I climbed up onto a ledge that stuck out from the rock, I realized that I must be at least 40-50 feet in the air. I was hesitating to jump because it looked like you would just go splat on the surface of the water but the only way to get down was to jump. So eventually I had to show courage because jumping was the only way to get down and I did not want to be stuck up there for ever and ever and ever. As I jumped I probably was in the air for at least 3 seconds and when I hit the water it felt like putting your hand into a bucket of cold water and leaving it to rise up on its own. The climb to get to that height was not very hard it was at least a 5A which is a ladder basically.

When I jumped it felt like my heart flew up into my mouth and my stomach reached my chest. It was the weirdest feeling in my entire life. After that I was not afraid to jump into the water from 45-50 feet high but it was still scary to do it a second time and even a third time. Each time I did it I went higher and higher so my highest jump was around 55 feet or so and at that height I was hesitant to leap off of the ridge and into the crystal clear water.

That experience was breath-taking but it changed my fear of heights a bit. It changed the bit of jumping into the ocean from a high ridge or ledge it also changed my fear of falling on a ledge that stuck out from the rock a few feet. I still don't like to climb high routs and even high bouldering routs I prefer to climb routs that are under 250 feet of 80-100 m routs I am not the kind of guy that likes to climb an 1,000 foot multi pitch.

My fear of heights is still inside of me but now there is only a little bit of it left.

early human tools

Artifacts tell us allot of things about early humans like Homo Erectus, Homo Habalis, Neanderthals, Homo Sapiens and lucy's group of strange creatures. These hominids all used tools but for some of them their tools were their hands and feet (their limbs.)

They tell us what tools they used like they used animal bones for tools. They used them to cook food and to fight with each other. Other tools are used to carve on walls or for hunting animals or for digging burial holes for the dead they also can be used for tenderizing food.

Some tools can be used for painting or sculpturing and others can be used for building huts or carving animal skin off of its body to make clothes or rugs to sleep on or sit on, to cover sharp rocks. They also can be used for some important reasons like to make fire or to burn objects like bones.
