**//I look up at the abseiling wall as we determinedly walk to it. It looks like a piece of cake. I was really expecting it to be higher. From all the stories I’ve heard, it’s sounds about as tall as the sky tower! As we gather round, the instructor asks Jayden R to tell a story about what is happening. We have to escape from the horrible, evil Orks and the only way is to abseil down the wall. //**


 * //She claps her hands. “Right! Who wants to go first?” She says. My hand shoots up excitedly, as well as some others. She hands a harness to me and to a classmate named Tristan. I grin. ‘Yay!’ I think. When I have put it on (with a little help) and a helmet, I’m ready to go. //**


 * //I follow the instructor into the tall tower eagerly. We start climbing the long tiring stairs. As we reach an opening I realise it’s the 10 metre wall. Damn! We are only halfway up! Wow. We’ve been climbing up for ages. Maybe it’s higher than I thought. //**


 * //We finally emerge at the top. I want to look down, but my instructor won’t let me past a thick metal bar. She attaches all sorts of ropes to my harness and then she explains to me what to do. “Ok, come with me.” I duck under the bar and look down. Wow! It is way higher than it looks! I wave to my friends. //**


 * //Now I’m on the very edge of the tower. “Now lean back!” She says. “Lean back!” I look down and nearly slip. “Look at me! Otherwise you’ll slip.” I look at her, I don’t want to lean back. What if I fall? I’ll go SPLAT!! I see all the ropes attached to me and know I can’t possibly drop. But it’s still scary. I lean back the smallest bit. “Lean right back! Right back!” //**


 * //Oh no! I don’t want to lean back so I try to lean forwards instead. My foot slips but luckily I have my other one on the wall. “See? You have to lean back!” She’s saying. I finally, but nervously lean right back, my heart is pounding. “Now, take baby steps, baby steps.” I think I’m over concentrating, because I probably moved about a millimetre! “Keep going!” //**


 * //Eventually I’m passed the small slope and now I’m completely vertical, I have passed the hardest bit. I still am quite nervous. I start going down taking one small step at a time. //**


 * //‘Hey!’ I think to myself. ‘It’s kind of easy!’ I start going quicker. Soon I’m halfway down. “Now do a Mission Impossible jump!” She shouts. I jump off the wall letting myself down as I do. I do another one. This is really fun! //**


 * //<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I’m at the bottom and a parent helper unclips me. I walk to my friends grinning. “It was awesome! Wasn’t really hard at all...!” //**
