Terrific tree climbing

My mission is to be able to do what ever a monkey can do.
I have 60 minutes to complete the task and get ready for the test.

It was the 2nd of March 2009, It was the second day of room 10’s Hanmer Camp. At around 8:00 am, Group B went tree climbing

First our instructor- Carl, explained how to put on a harness and choose a good size helmet. So I grabbed a harness and put it on.

Carl explained the rules about tree climbing.

1. Scratch your nose, Don’t pick it.
2. Yell “free chocolate” if you want to be checked.
3. Yell “bananas” when you have reached the top.
4. That there was a group of three that pulled in all the extra ropes.

Carl said “Girls stay at this tree and boys go to the other tree.

Finally it was my turn on the first tree. I got clipped in and yelled
“free chocolate!” once I was checked I started to climb the tree.
Then I got to the top said “Bananas!” to come down.

Once everyone had a go the boys and the girls swapped trees.

I was first on this tree, I got clipped in and got checked. Then I started to climb. I had no trouble climbing, until about half way through. I was in a bit of a problem but I used my brain and I put left leg up on the branch behind me to jump off. And before you know it I was at the top. Ready to come down.

I started to wait to have a go on the second hardest tree. But then I thought about doing the hardest one so I went for it!

I kept climbing and climbing, stopping every now and then for a rest. But at one point I couldn’t reach a single branch aProxy-Connection: keep-alive

I was so close to the top.

I still came down, with a whole different experience in my body. I was more excited than ever! And the test was all about how much fun I could have!
