Rock Climbing

When Mum and Dad went away for a five day holiday a little while back they wanted to reward us for not burning the house down, so they shouted we four girls to see "A Christmas Carol" 3D, and the boys were to go rock climbing. The boys' reward had to be postponed for a few weeks, but on the Tuesday we were able to go. I say "we" because the boys would obviously need supervising, and Bek and I sacrificed our morning to help (*ahem*). Dad wanted Mum to go too, so along went the eight of us to the best rock climbing shed in town.

Jamie was very adventurous. Dad offered a prize for the one who reached the highest of the wall; Jamie and Robert raced each other for it.

Jordan and I.

The belayers. Once you let go of the wall your belayer has complete control over whether you reach the floor or remain swinging in the air. Mum and Jamie had a great time keeping Bek hanging over their heads for a while :P


Rob liked this device better than anything else. He had a lot of fun jumping on to the padding.

We were impressed with how much 'ground' Jamie covered on this one; he managed to get just above the stairs.


Me belaying.


Can you see Jamie up near the roof? He went four rungs higher and touched it, beating Rob.
