Click, click. I’m clicking my harness on. I was at the bottom of the mountain. Then we attached a ladder to another ladder. Soon I was halfway up the mountain. I saw rocks: big rocks, little rocks. The grass was swaying. Soon a hard log hit me. I started falling down and I stopped. Then I held on to a branch and was thinking, what will happen if I slip?

I wondered, will I climb up this mountain? My mum and dad were worried about me falling down. When I was climbing happily, a spider landed on my arm and it bit me so hard that it distracted me, but I didn’t slip. Next I climbed a little bit and slipped a little bit. I was starting to feel worried when I was climbing up. When I got to the top I was feeling proud but I thought to myself, I will never climb a mountain again.

I was climbing a rock face. A rock was loose I was very, very scared and frightened. My heart was beating louder and louder and louder.

I kept on going up over more and more rocks. I was scared that the rocks were going to fall on me. I got up to the top of the cliff. I thought I was at the top of the world.

I was climbing up Mount Everest. About halfway I saw a person who was half skeleton. He was still wearing his shirt. I’d heard on the radio that he had got stuck up the mountain and died. I tried reaching him, but I was too scared. I didn’t know what I was doing. Then I fell to the ground. I just couldn’t move a bit. My mum heard the thud and came over. Then my mum rang the ambulance. I had to stay in the hospital for ten weeks.

On a sunny hot day there was a girl called Lara. She had beautiful pink dress. She had a white headband and she wore pink shoes. She was at the rock climbing walls. Her mum was watching her. She climbed on pointy shiny rocks. I feel like I’m on top of the world, she thought.

Just then she saw a spider. Ahh! Help! She lost grip of the rock in her hand and slipped. Her safety belt carried her weight. Her mum took her off the climbing wall. She hugged her mum very tight. The girl thought, I’ll never ever go on the rock climbing walls ever again.

I was ready to climb the cliff. People were watching me. When I was climbing rocks were falling down and a rock cut my arm. It really stung.

My hands slipped off the ledge that I was holding. I was scared that I might fall and die. People were shouting out to me from down at the bottom.

The person that had my harness pulled me down safely and I was really proud of myself because I had climbed really high. I hugged my mum really hard.

I climbed a rocky hill. I could see some grass and I could hear my mother and father shouting at me. When I had climbed a little bit, my hand slipped off. I felt scared. At last I climbed up the mountain and rolled down the grassy side. I felt happy but a bit scared.

I worried that I would slip at the next rock. I realised that there was a line of red liquid dripping from my arm. I took my arm off to touch the gash. I first thought the position I was in was stable, but it wasn’t. I started to fall. I had pebbles falling on my head. My t-shirt got caught on a rock. I climbed back up the cliff, but I still needed help.

I saw a rock, some weeds, and a stick. I chose the rock and threw it on my dad’s car to set off his car alarm. As soon as it hit the car it went, weee-ooo, weee-ooo! The windscreen was smashed. My dad rushed out to see what happened. He was really mad about what I had done and also mad that I had smashed his car. He didn’t have any insurance either. He yelled, “you’re going to have to pay for my windscreen!” As soon as he said that, I went pale and I said to myself, “oh great!”.
