Event 6 – Climbing [REPORT]

What a great evening out! There were six of us who went to the Climbing Castle for a night of “social climbing”. We had a dedicated instructor who started us off on some simple walls and then graduated us (via a few other free climb challenges) to more advanced climbing, including belaying.

There was an immediate sense of camaraderie and facing challenges as a team – a natural by-product of a group adventure. We encouraged each other, competed and upped each others’ game by trying harder and harder climbs.

And an hour and a half later, we were all sore and went for a drink at the canteen. Conversation ensued – life stories, similar experiences, and “what’s next?” I mentioned Go Ape and everyone seemed enthused for a greater challenge.
