Climbing blog

The climbing unit we had this year was really fun. We enjoyed a lot and we accomplished a lot of things and we made a lot of goals that we had to work on. As far as I can see my writing log, I am proud of myself. I achieved a lot of things this year which I couldn't do last year. There were some things that I had to work on but as time went by, I completed them all. Some of the things I achieved this year included doing a wall F blindfolded. When I mastered this skill, I tried the chimney blindfolded. I went half way up and got sore limbs. Also another thing that I accomplished this unit included to do four players attached and three of them blindfolded.

There is always to work on even when you are the best. Some of the goals I had this year had to do with me trying to get up a wall blindfolded and i accomplished this one the third day of this unit. Another goal that I had this year was to try doing the overhang. On the last day of this climbing unit, I tried my luck on the climbing unit. I got to the point where we had to turn and hang but I failed and fell. This happened to me several times. On the last time I tried, I got to the same place and I was about to fall when my partner gave me encouragement and pulled me up the rest of the way.

As for the climbing and belaying part, I was really good at all times except for the part when I dropped a person while belaying. My hand slipped on the handle and I got a rope burn. Overall, I think I was very good in terms of climbing and assisting. Belaying was a little challenge but I got it down as we went through.

Even though I had some things that I did not accomplish, I am proud of what I did during this unit. I made some goals and I nearly accomplished all of them. Hence, I will make more goals next year so that I can be a better climber next year and improve my skills.
