Rock Climbing at Earth Treks

On July 3rd the students visited Earth Treks for rock climbing. It was an awesome experience! Some of the teachers learned how to belay before the field trip. A "belayer" is responsible for tying knots, holding the rope that supports the climber, and insuring the safety of the climber as they ascend the wall. Some of the students were amazing climbers. Everyone really did a wonderful job of learning and improving during the day. A few students actually were chosen to climb the "big wall" where experienced climbers show off their skills.
