The ropes course was a lot different from what I expected it to be like. I thought there that we would be just learning to tie ropes and maybe climb up a small climbing wall because since it was at the groynes I had never saw any climbing things. When we got there I looked outside and saw a 25 meter climbing course it was so cool. I personally hate heights but enjoy climbing anyways.
My goal was to achieve as well as I could and to push myself. Then Paul and Alan came up and talked to us they told us that they would be our climbing instructors for the day. We split off into to groups and started some team activities. I was thinking oh no this will be boring but it was really fun. We did an activity where you had a ball and had to pass and hand to hand as quickly as possible. We got the fastest time of 0.5 seconds thanks to some good thinking from Brooklyn.
When we started climbing we went in a group of three. I went with Jack and Hugh. We were last to start the Giant's ladder. Which is basically like he name a humongous ladder which gets wider apart each rung. It was so dodgy because it wobbled as well. I felt like my mouth was a desert and there was a stampede of elephants in my stomach. I made it up to the 9th rung before it was time. The rest of the climbing courses were fine.
When I left I was happy with what I did but would like to do more if I get another climbing experience again. My favourite was the flying kiwi where your team and you run in opposite directions with a rope attached. It was my favourite because it was actually like flying.For the next challenge I'm going to be thinking it will be great rather than boring.
Well done Lachlan, it is hard when you don't know what to expect. I liked your description how you felt while you were climbing the giant's ladder. More of this description would help the audience understand your experience.
