Climbing Terror!
I gaze up at the climbing wall, a sense of adventure and terror grabs hold of me. I’m not bad with heights just not that brilliant! My heart pounds as I try on my harness. This harness, this piece of material, is all that will keep me from hitting the ground if I fall. I try to stay calm, but there is still a sense of anxiety. I struggle up the wall, my palms sweating, my mind racing, but everyone is really supportive, helping me and guiding my feet to the right grooves. I’m finally at the top, I feel proud and so relieved, but then I realise, I still have to get down… Nicola tells me to lean back and abseil down the wall, but I can’t. My leg starts shaking uncontrollably and I’m so scared I think I could cry, but I did it!!!
