My arm screamed in pain, causing me to slip off. I was determined though, and eventually made it over. Rappelling down the other side had it&#8217;s own challenge for me as well. I needed the guide to switch the rope from my dominate arm (the fractured one) so I could glide the rope as I propelled down. Due to the language barrier it took a bit to understand what I needed, but with patience and time, I eventually conquered the rock climbing wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-102f6087d564052a9503039a2ad51b11 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">We then head to our first of two cenotes.
