Rock Climbing

Rock Climbing

This " harness " feels weird. Is that how it's supposed to feel??? Yes it is my big buddy said. If your wondering what I am talking about then stop wondering because I am about to tell you. A week ago room 19 went rock climbing at Karamu High School. I don't really know why we went rock climbing but I have heard that Mrs Hardaker won in the teachers game of paper scissors rock. Anyways at our rock climbing session I have learnt how to put a harness and fasten it so that it doesn't fall of while your climbing the wall. As I said at the beginning about my big buddies, My big buddies names were: Arica and Charlot. The big buddies helped up with our hardness and taught us how to climb the wall. Everybody in room 19 had either 1 or 2 buddies. Me a Caitlin were the lucky ones to get two buddies. At the rock climbing room ( which was a basket ball court ) There were two activities set up for us. The first activity me and Caitlin and our buddies went to was the "push and pull". In the push and pull activity one kid ( Which was me ) was working the rope and Caitlin was the one who was getting pulled by me. I was pushing the rope with one hand and pulling it with one hand. When I was pulling the rope I had to take it to my bum and then push it back up which made Caitlin move forward and backwards. After that we went to the second activity. The second activity was ROCK CLIMBING!!! When you are going to rock climb it i important that your harness is secured nice and tight so that is doesn't fall of while your climbing. Caitlin climbed first and she didn't go very high but she did her best and that's all that matters. After her turn was me and I can not explain to you of how nervous I was at that time because all I could think of was " WHAT IF MY HARNESS BROKE AND I FELL OF THE HARD ROCK SOLID FLOOR"!!!! But as I was climbing my big buddies and Caitlin were encouraging me so much that I forgot all about falling. I did not go very high at all but I tried and that's all that matters. After everyone had, had a go at all  the activity's it was time to back to school and write all about our adventure.

I hope that you enjoyed reading all about Room 19's Rock Climbing adventure. Please comment if you enjoyed reading it.
