The Fearless Climbing Wall
As I raced around the green open field, I spotted the high fearless CLIMBING wall. Fear raced in to my body. Shaking with nerves I shook my head I wasn't ready. I started nervously thinking that I was too young to die. My heart started pounding with crazy thoughts. Will I die? Will I break any of my bones? Still shivering, I wanted to force my mum not to let me climb up this terrifying Devil. At last I started thinking I must face this huge massive CLIMBING wall.
Tyler the man in charge told us about why we had to wear this kind of nappy called a harness. Then he taught my group about this rope called a belay that we must pull slowly and carefully so the climber can easily climb and be protected and how to lower the person so he or she can abseil down carefully. After that he needed 3 people to be the first to pull the belay I kindly put up my hand quicker than you can say, “hamburgers are tasty!” He choose me first and then 2 other boy’s. I was delighted and relieved that I wouldn’t be first on the wall. Jess was the first one on my belay rope who went first. She climbed higher than I have ever seen her do before. I was relieved. Suddenly she became scared and shocked she wanted to go down so we carefully lowered her down.
Then Tyler told me it was my turn. I was extremely shocked. My eyes widened and I was frozen but I knew i had to defeat this devil. I put on the helmet that tyler gave to me. He clipped on a clip attached to the belay and told me “ If you're ready climb tell your team”. “I’m not ready!!!!!!”, I murmured to myself. Finally I said, “I’m ready“ to my group. I was persevering and past the black bit I was so proud of myself. I kept on going until I got to a part where my hands was slippery and it was hard to climb up. I looked down and my group looked like a group of ant’s wow that is so a long long way.
I tried to keep going but I couldn't. I heard Mrs melick shouting furiously to persevere. I tried to pull myself up but it was too hard. My heart was pounding, I was feeling like I would fall off and kill myself. I pulled me up with all my muscles and finally past the slippery part. I wasn’t at the top yet but I was tired and I was shaking. I shouted to my belay group, “ lower me down NOW please”. My amazing group lowered me down and I was finally at the ground. I felt like kissing the ground when Tyler clipped of the clip and when I took of the helmet but I knew that would be too embarrassing.
I felt amazed and calmed down. I was so relieved that I finished but … I didn’t know we get 3 turns! AAAAAHHHHHH!! I am not going on that thing again!!!!!!!
