My grandfather is from Hinton, WV. As a child we would go down to visit his family and stay at Pipestem State Park, where they have an overhead cable car, or tram. Jenni and I decided one day that we would climb the tram hill, straight up..

Others in our family had done it before us, and we wanted in on the fun.

The first step was to cross the river. Its a bit slippery and the current is moving fast. This is what you call Teamwork. :-)

Dad rode up and down on the tram to take pictures of our hike. :-)

The hill was really steep in places. One of the steepest places was just over top of an old moonshiners cave. You can just see the top of the mouth of the cave in the bottom right.

I am terrified of heights and am freaking out in this picture. It is so steep that every time i try to move I slide back down. Sliding too much will make me fall down into the cave..

After 5 minutes of hyperventilating I calmed down a bit and slowly pulled myself up and out of the scary section. I was very happy to be alive. :-)

Although still pretty steep, it was pretty smooth sailing from there on.
