Wow what an amazing session at Clip and Climb! We felt grateful to have been given the opportunity and practised so many skills there. The safety video required concentration, then we relayed the rules back to the staff. We then learned how to use the safety harness, and it was a great mechanism which never allowed you to climb without being fully attached (very good design!). The harness made us feel safe and we gave ourselves targets if we were nervous about climbing.
Some of us found the safety clip difficult to undo, so asked for help, and our friends were great at helping with clips and encouraging us to have a go. We cheered for our friends who find heights a bit daunting, and if a friend struggled, we rallied round and were great sports.
Some walls required a lot of concentration, and some required strength or resilience. We tested so many of these skills, and had a great experience. Some of my favourite quotes:
"I've never been a place like this before"
"Are we in London now?"
"I've never been to Cambridge"
"I don't think I like heights"
"I hope I get to go again to a place like this one day!"
