The Steep Face
On the first day our second activity was abseiling. I was looking forward to this the most as I love heights. Lauren and I were first. As we walked up the steps I was shaking so much I started to sweat. The instructor told me to face her (so my back was by the edge). I thought I was going to fall so I asked if I could stand a little closer in. When she had clipped all the ropes on she asked me if I was comfortable to sit in my harness over the edge. So I did. I saw Lauren next to me and knew we felt the same. I smiled at her. I put my first foot over the edge then the other and I was off. When I was near the bottom Lauren had started. I smiled at her. I unclipped my harness and everyone cheered.
