On Saturday, the main park in town had displays from all of the activities and clubs in which you could register your kids (or yourself) for the year. The kids saw a mobile climbing wall and wanted to try it. After a long wait, the kids were strapped into harnesses, had put on helmets and were starting to climb. Moments later, we were done and on our way.
The next day, the kids decided to try it at home. Safety gear included:
- a belt and rope to use as a harness,
- an air mattress in case of falls,
- helmets in case of rock slides,
- a chest plate in case of barbarian attacks (common enough at our house).
Putting on the gear
She's on her way
Every climber needs a partner to work the ropes
For some reason this scenario reminds me of the book Scaredy Squirrel!
