Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Straight to the point, today we had to join the wall climbing activity! Its so interesting for me! We did the wall climbing at the Extreme Park at Seksyen 13. We went there by bus at approximately 8.OO a.m. As we arrived, there is 2 trainers waited for us. They gave us a little speech about the wall climbing and they said that wall climbing is one of the safest recreational activities.

so here it is!

As we already done this activity before, we just skip to the belay technique.

"Belay is the process of securing and safeguarding a climber by using a rope to hold the climber's weight if he falls. The ascending climber and belayer, or a person holding the rope or belay device are a team that is linked together by the rope. Belaying is an important part of the climbing chain of safety and one of the most important skills that any novice climber must master to become a safe climber. Belaying refers to a variety of techniques climbers  use to exert friction on a climbing rope so that a falling climber does not fall very far.A climbing partner typically applies friction at the other end of the rope whenever the climber is not moving, and removing the friction from the rope whenever the climber needs more rope to continue climbing. The term belay also means the place where the belayer is anchored; this is typically a ledge, but may be a hanging belay, where the belayer is suspended from protection in the rock."

Each of us must have a partner and my partner is Aini Rosesyazana. one to belay and one to climb. And then we will switch after that. When we already wear the harness and attach the rope, we must double check to ensure that the harness is already tighten and the rope are in the correct order. This is to ensure safety. 

its me up there! 

here it starts!
