SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Heart-pounding moments for KRON’s Grant Lodes Friday afternoon, as he dangled from the top of the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero.

He did not need to be rescued but he did need to get down, and he did it for a good cause–Outward Bound California.

“Outward Bound is the premier provider of experience-based outdoor leadership programs for youth and adults. Outward Bound courses change lives and give you the tools to see further, climb higher and find your way. Seek a challenge and embark on a wilderness backpacking trip, an urban exploration, or even take a mountaineering or rock climbing course, and bring home the courage to find your own path,” according to the organization’s website.
