Climbing A Mountain.
By Chris Christianson, Grade 8

For outdoor school I chose rock climbing.  I was surprised to find out that I was the only one in school who had.   We spent the first night at camp.  My bunk-mate took down our tent even though he wasn't supposed to, so we had to make it twice.  The next morning we climbed the rock wall.  Some parts were hard and some parts were easy but they were all fun.  I found that many backpacks have a problem.  They are too small!  We all had trouble stuffing things into our backpacks, and when we got to the mountain it just exploded out.  We climbed the mountain and then the cliff.  It was really fun.  I found a cave under a pile of boulders that had rabbit droppings all over the floor.  We all made it up all the walls except the hardest one.
