The 'Awesome' new climbing wall at school
Today we got to try the new climbing wall that the school put the $50000 from that bloomin' Orange Ruler thingamajig into along with a red velvet stage curtain (really?) and a new plastic/metal stage (they're just going to get ruined by the kids pounding up dust and playing with them (especially the curtains in the gym)).
Anyways, it was ridiculous. There was a red 'safety line' not even two feet above the ground that your feet weren't allowed to climb (probably because otherwise you would be able to touch the top of the wall). There was also a 'three-points of contact at all times rule'. That is simply ridonkulous. With only one limb free at a time, how in the world are you going to have fun? And you only got to climb around 4 feet sideways. That is BORING.
Then we had a game where you could go above the safety line. That was also boring. The wall was seven-eight feet tall, and with one foot up I could put the beanbag on the holder, the goal. It was stupid and boring. They didn't make it higher because they were scared we might fall and that it was too expensive (yeah, right. $50000!!!) and that you would need a harness and only one person could go at a time because you would need to pull them up (yeah, right) and let them down (why don't you let the kids do a bit of pulling with the lock on?)
In conclusion, I do not think the rock wall was worth the money the school donated.
