On Saturday 8 May 2010, UniLodge @Melbourne arranged a rock-climbing activity as a part of the Community Spirit program. Sam and I were two Residential Advisors that participated in the activity with about 20 other UniLodge residents.
It was a fantastic experience. To most of us, it was our first experience doing rock climbing. Arriving at the location, we had a briefing session explaining the equipments worn and how to use them. The instruction sounded lengthy at first, but once the harnesses were worn and set properly, we only needed to remember how to climb and pull the safety rope with our partners. Pretty simple.
The activity was so much fun. (though as you can see, I did need to concentrate when holding my partners rope!)We got to know each other better and made new friends with neighbours from different floors, especially with the person you're partnering with. It was a good exercise for arms and legs, and also your courage. The pictures and videos taken would definitely be Facebook worthy and are currently in our online photo album at http://www.communityspirit.com/ . Hehehe...
This is certainly a must-try activity, and I strongly encourage you all to participate next time. Don't worry if you're afraid of heights. We first trained by climbing a short wall, and once you get used to it, you'll want to climb higher. You may even overcome your fear of height after all the fun.
I look forward to joining the next Community Spirit event with you all.
