I know that all of you have hobbies that you enjoy doing, and that you, more than likely, do quite well. I like to go rock climbing. Granted there is not to many places in East Texas that you can do this sport. Rock climbing is a sport that a friend of mine in California introduced me to but it is a sport that many people either enjoy watching or doing.
I remember the very first time I went climbing. My friend, Paul who is an experienced climber, convinced me to go on a climb that we both knew was too difficult for a beginner such as myself. I tried it anyway. Before we got started, Paul showed me how to make a harness out of a six-foot piece of rope and how to put it on. Then he showed me the basic of repelling, which is the quickest way down from the top of a huge rock. Repelling scared me at first because I am scared of heights but I soon got use to it.
Then we went to one side of the hug
Since I was also new to rappelling, Paul went down first so he could keep an eye on me just in case I got into trouble. Once he got down I strapped in like he showed me and started my descent. Needless to say the trip down was a lot easier then the trip up. I made it down without a hitch.
We then packed up all of our gear and started back for home, but I will never forget the feeling I got when I reached the top of that rock. I had this feeling I inside of me like at that moment I could do anything and everything I ever dreamed of and be successful at it. Even thought it might take a lot of hard work to get it accomplished, but
Was tied in, I started my ascent up the massive rock. In the beginning, everything went well and according to plan but about half way up I lost my foot hold and fell about 5 foot.
