My new favorite thing in the world is hold on can you guess? It’s are you sure you can’t guess? It’s rock climbing!!! I climbed up a 50 foot wall at peak experiences yesterday. It was the most fun thing ever in my life. The person who holds your rope is called a beelayer. His name was Chris and he said kids my age are scared to go past a few feet. He wanted to put me on a beginner climb. My dad said not this kid you’ll see. Chris gave me a chance on a harder climb. I said good. I went to the top and high fived the number. Chris was amazed. My mom was not. My next climb was harder. Chris said you have to have rock climbing shoes to step on the things you grab and step on. I said I want to do it any way. I got up a few feet and I couldn’t get my feet on there. He was right. But he said how will you know unless you try? That’s what I say! My 3 climb was harder than my first one but not like that super hard one. There was a woman climbing on a really high climb. Chris said the rope next to her was open but it was a hard climb. I said good. I got half way up the wall and the woman’s partner said Don’t let the little girl beat you. I said good. I started going faster because I decided I was going to beat her. And you know I did. Everyone laughed and her partner said You let the little girl beat you! Uh huh uh huh.

I want to go back today but my mom and dad said maybe in a while.
