MisterYoungster: Rock Climbing
I went rock climbing today. I came to the gym and I was like "nah, it isn't 50 fifty tall,{though I knew it wouldn't be}, it won't be fun". Really it was about 20-25 feet. Even though it looked 20 feet, it didn't. (I do not know how to explain that!) I got all harnessed up and I started climbing. At first it was easy, but that was because there were so many "rocks" to hold onto. When I passed the first 7 feet, there were gaps and not as many "rocks". There were two really big gaps, and I stayed in place for about 10 seconds trying to figure out what to do. I reached the top ( but not really.... well the top for me). After I rappelled back down I asked the attendant if I could go up again and he said "sure" . So off I went on a second trip! The same "almost to the top". I got down the second time, (still wondering what to do about the gaps if I would go up again). And my brother and I went ACROSS the climbing wall. Then I went up a third time but still couldn't quite figure out how to get past the gaps. I had lots of fun! I'll do it again (hopefully figuring out how to get to the real top next time).

Maybe if you go with someone else who knows how to go all the way to the top, you can watch and see how hey manage the gaps.
ReplyDeleteOr wait til your legs are longer, and the gaps are not as wide.
