                              Rock Climbing

 

Rock climbing is one of my favorite things.  It was cold that morning.  I climbed up the backside of the cliff.  When I got to the top, I peered over the edge.  Chills ran up my spine.  It was a long way down.  One at a time I saw people walk backwards down the cliff disappearing over the edge.  After I was strapped in, I eased myself backwards until I was parallel with the ground.  I started walking backwards.  I was having fun until I took another step and found nothing to put my foot on.  I took my feet off the rock and let myself free-fall down the cliff.  My speed decreased until I finally stopped just about the ground.  It was a great experience!
