Rupster says " About Rock Climbing"

This was another first time experience. With all the things that's been happening around, this has been a very good mind diversification. For this semester we have a subject called Entrepreneurship. Students are required to get into a group of fours and choose an entrepreneur to be interviewed. One of the group decided to choose the Camp5 owner.

Camp5 is a rock climbing center located at One Utama. After all the hype created the whole class gathered at Camp5 at around 3pm at Camp5. For most of us and including our lecturer, this was our very first time. Walking in to the place felt like an amazing feeling. Looking at all the walls so high up, we wondering to ourselves "are we going to climb all that?". As scarey as it looked, the feeling of want to reach high up there was also there.

As we reached, were were asked to fill up a form containing our personal details. Than we were given our special shoes and the harness to the climbing session. The group than presented their role-play. It was than followed by a safety demonstration for the other students before they start their climbing.  Once everything was explained we started our climbing.




It was indeed a very new experience. It needed a lot of determination. It can be very tiring but once reaching up at the peak, there was a sense of achievement. It was indeed a very big eye opener. We learned a lot through the experience.




There was this one part in which we were suppose to climb the rock all the way up and that let go. You go swinging. As simple as it may sound, but it was not! It was not easy to let go. That's when we all realised the quote saying " let it go' is never as simple as it is. It was how much trust you have on your self and the person who is handling you. To let go was the toughest!
