I did that once. I climbed the totally long ladder with a line of people behind me. I already knew it was a huge mistake but couldn't back down. After I got to the top, I couldn't go down the slide, so I stood aside, trying to get over my fear. Finally, I forced myself to walk over to the slide and EVERYONE CLAPPED and said YAY. I was so humiliated and scared to death. I was literally shaking when I got out of the water. I'm with you, Pattie, dear.
