Disturbances in gravitational force
I visited Garni temple on thursday together with my two friends from Trondheim, Leif and Elise. During our stay there we discovered some disturbances in the gravitational force and at times we just had to hold on to the closest thing available not to float of into space, and this phenomenon has followed us here to Tbilisi. We experienced a severe incident at the border crossing to Georgia, as you can see from the picture below we were extremely lucky to get hold of this pole.

*Update
As our claim about the disturbances in gravity might sound a bit strange to some people I am putting up a bit more evidence to prove that this actually was actually the case.
Here you see me at Garni just after the phenomenon first kicked in, as you see I’m a bit surprised, but really happy to be alive and with a firm grip of my lifesaving pole.

Right after Leif caught on to the rail on the edge of the cliff:
We thought we were safe afterwards, but before we knew it Leif and Elise started floating off again and had to lock on to the pillars of Garni Temple.
And again!
We were getting desperate, and decided to sacrifice Leif to the pagan gods. But just as I found the sword ready to slit him open, I remembered that Leif is actually a fantastic guy. If I have to live with these random gravity disturbances to keep him; well so be it!

And that’s how we ended up having to fight gravity once again on our way to Tbilisi, here we are in north Armenia when it hit us again.
It almost pulled me right into the river!

It seems to me that you handled the dramatic experience in a calm and rational way. I am sure you will keep emergency handles close in the future, may I suggest a safety line by the hand (and in the belt) as well? It should not be much additional weight, at least compared to the slack-line you always bring along. Godspeed.
