Rock Climbing William Pike

This Is my William Pike Challenge Award Outdoor Activity number 2!

On Monday Rimu class yr 7\8’s went rock climbing for our outdoor William Pike challenge. We got taken in cars from - Miss Blair, Miss Todd, Mrs Royfee, Jacqui, Andrea, and Tanya.

We went rock climbing in the Port Hills (Cattlestop Crag). At the start of the day I was so scared and worried but we got there and I saw the climbs I felt relieved  because they weren't as high as I thought they would be.  

Our instructors were Stephen and  Josh. They talked to us about values, they were pride and resilience. I think I was so proud of myself for doing 3 climbs, I was doubting myself in doing 1 climb. I went with Stephen first and we did abseiling. I think abseiling was better than climbing because it was higher and not as scary as climbing. I liked Stephen more than Josh because Stephen was funny but Josh was to serious.

I loved the views because I have never seen the city like I did up on the rocks. When I climbed the rock face for the 2nd time I sat down at the top and looked at the view in front. It was amazing. I could see all the building from nearly a birds eye view.

I would definitely rock climb again with my friends. I liked it loads because I was with my friends and all my friends did abseiling and climbing and no one felt left out. It was so cool being up high on the big rocks.

Thank you Miss Blair for making this happen.
