On a rock I climbed part 2

"I made it!" I cried happily at the top of the mountain. "Go around here." said one of the leaders. Then I saw why. "Whoa!!" I whispered and grabbed my camera out to snap a few pictures of the view. We could see trees down below a long ways with fog spreading everywhere. I sighed, wishing I could go closer. Soon though, the leader showed us the equipment and let us peek over the edge. Then he let us go with Pastor Ryan to start climbing. We had to put on itchy harnesses. I was the first to help my friend Arinne climb . She began to climb, while I held her up with a rope. It took a long while because she got really scared. But I got scared worse.
When I began to climb I went pretty fast. Then I got to a hard spot. It took me awhile to be able to start again. I found a little lizard up there too. I soon started to get really stuck. I was 60 feet off the ground, and then I totally freaked out. I started to cry, then I noticed a leader up a few feet ahead of me. He helped me up and helped me calm down.Then I started to go down again. It was sorta scary, but I soon got used to it. I tried to go up another cliff but I couldn't do it. So instead I helped my friends rock climb and Rapieled mostly. It started to be scorching hot. I was so so tired, but soon we began to pack up. I am glad I went rock climbing, because this is a experience I will not forget!

On a rock I climbed part 1

"So, are we all ready? OK let's go!" said Mr. Allen as we left the church at 6:54. The Pathfinder Club was going rock-climbing and one of those Pathfinders was me!
For four weeks , we Pathfinders had learned all the stuff to know about rock climbing. We had learned dozens of knots, methods and so now it was about to be for real!
On the bus up to North Carolina , we practiced our knots one more time so Miss Carie could check us off for our rock climbing honor. When we finally got there, we began to check our stuff over. Then we slipped some equipment on our backs and headed up the trail. I was hoping the trail would slope slowly, but boy was I mistaken. It went upward fast. The two helmets Miss Carie had placed on my back was driving me crazy. The trail seemed to last forever, but finally we started up some stairs to the top of the rocks.. "OK guys you are now climbing the Great Wall of China." I joked. I was correct, almost. The stairs in China however are steeper and made of rock. Would we ever get there?
