Tree Climbing by Alice

Click.
I heard,"Belayer ready"
"Climber ready," I muttered.
Clenching my fists, I glanced upwards. My knees were shaking like mad. The tree was welcoming me into its branches. Slowly I stepped up to the silver ladder. My arm stretched for the first block of wood.The instructor slowly moved the ladder and I almost fell. My wide opened eyes were tied to the carabenna. I was getting closer and closer. "Sun bun," I said. My hands clenched the wood blocks.
"I had to let go", I said in my mind. "Ahhhhh", I screamed while being let down.

Tree climbing was my favourite activity at Hanmer camp.
