[music playing] OK, you're good, Cara.

You know the bit I said about gravity doing the first bit? Yeah. That's wrong. You're just going to have to muscle it out most of the way.

Oh, no. Hopefully, I'll get across before I get scared. That's what I'm hoping for. So speed is my key, which probably isn't very clever. But whatever.

[grunting] I'll tell you what, this is going to be a workout for her.

Oh, my god. Oh, god, I'm scared. [grunting] Oh, no. [grunting] Oh, [bleep]. This is going to be so long. There's so much friction with the rope and the carabiner over it that each couple of feet is like a pull-up.

[bleep] Oh. Oh. So she's about a quarter of the way and already she's grinding to a halt.

[grunting] Come on, Cara, you can do this. [grunting] Push that device as far forward as you can. There you go. You need both hands. [grunting] Great job. Keep pushing.

[grunting] You can do it. Guys, phhh! [grunting] Oh, god. Come on. Go, girl. You're doing so well. Just inch it out, muscle it out.

[grunting] So close. So close. Keep coming. OK. Come on, you bastard. [grunting] Another 5 foot and you're there.

I'm so close. I'm so close. [grunting] [inaudible]. Come on here. [grunting] Here we go.

[grunting] Ugh! Here we go. Here we go. Ooh!

Oh. Oh, my god. That was really hard. Sweat. Speed is usually my go-to. It was a bad idea, because after I got halfway, it just tore me up-- my core, my arms.

Yeah, that last bit was really hardcore. My stomach is shaking. [laughs] It's good. It's good. Never give up. Never give up. Never give up.

[inaudible] So that was definitely harder work than I anticipated. But our Cara muscled it out. She's got great natural physicality of strength, and most importantly, kind of that never give up spirit. And out here, that is king.
