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!
