Arthur's rock climbing party

Had great fun at Arthur's rock climbing party. Ten young boys, Dunc and I were all harnessed up. Two staff members belayed for the kids and Dunc and I joined in to reduce waiting time for the kids. All of them were totally fearless - even Tenzin. At the end of the session the kids had half an hour "caving" in the tunnels, with and without head torches. I decided to have a quick go at climbing with Dunc belaying for me. Thought I'd do half a wall or so while the kids weren't watching but they spotted me and started heckling so I had to go all the way and touch the ceiling to prove that I was as brave as them!! I remembered my fear of heights when I looked down from the top!
