Abseiling
I’m harnessed up and ready to climb the ten metre ladder. I am extremely nervous and trying not to look down. I reach the top and realise that I have to do this. I feel a lot of pressure on me because the siren just went, so I have to do it quickly. I get up into the tower and I see a girl in tears. I am really terrified and freaking out but trying to hold a calm face. It’s time for me to go down the wall, I’ve finally realised that I can’t back out now! The lady fixes my harness and ties me to the rope. Then she says that she’s going to push me off the edge. I feel as if I am going to DIE! I can’t speak or move! I then slowly and steadily take my first step and another and another. Until I’m in a rhythm, I feel as if I’m dancing on a vertical slope, I start to look around at the scenery until I suddenly slip. My heart is beating wildly. I regain my footing and continue to walk down the tower. I’m nearly at the bottom. My fingers feel numb and I have a gigantic wedgie but it doesn’t matter I’m walking down a ten metre wall! I reach the bottom and plant my feet on the ground. I am shaking with joy and I realise I have faced my fear of heights!
