My Abseiling Challenge
Click goes the carribina and I start climbing; step by step goes by. Am I going to fall? Am I going to slip? All these thoughts go through my head.
As I stumbled to the top of the climbing wall, Treana (the Camp Columba instructor) yelled “Wasn’t that fun? Now just slide down. Don’t worry!”
As I started sliding she told me the weirdest joke I’ve ever heard, probably to distract me, but it was NOT working!
Now all I could hear was cheering from my awesome team-mates “You’re almost down!” and “Good work!”
I was about to look down when Treana yelled” Can you do a jump?”
I yelled “Ahh, maybe?” I jumped a little, noticing that I felt like I was on a bungee… BOING!’. I slipped and slid all the way until the last part of the wall. Just then I noticed that I was shivering like a chihuahua (imagine that!)
My awesome teacher said “How was that?”
“Awesome and soo scary!” I replied as I handed over the carribina to Rhianna. “Good luck” we all yelled to her.
And That’s The Story Of My First Abseiling Challenge!
