MooMoo had some adrenaline rush today. MooMoo had signed up this '4 hours Climbing & Abseiling' program for half the price deal from 'GroupOn' website, together with Ms. Mo.
This is MooMoo's virgin rock-climbing and abseiling. It's pretty scary but it was quite FUN and MooMoo had a Great Experience. MooMoo learnt the basics of the climbing equipments and how to handle them, as well as how to put them on. i.e. how to put on the helmet, the harness and how to handle the carabiners and belay devices, etc.
After briefing everyone, all were to put on their helmets and harnesses respectively. All were splitted into 2 groups, one doing the climbing and the other doing the abseiling.
Each climber will need a supporter behind them when they start their climb to avoid the sudden fall and for safety purposes. Each climber would require a belayer to help keep the rope taut and prevents long falls. Before each climb, all is required to check the readiness of the belayer and the carabiners are fully locked for safety.
Everyone is suppose to climb all the way to the TOP and touch the last rock there before shouting "FALLING" to the Belayer, so that the Belayer would let you descend slowly.
This is MooMoo's favourite Belayer. He's a nice guy and MooMoo finds that he's more PRO compared to the rest. Hahaha... Ms. Mo said MooMoo is bias but come on, he's not lengchai so nothing to be biased against. LOL. He helped MooMoo a lot during the climbing and abseiling.
This is MooMoo doing the climbing. Gosh... it really looks so easy but it's really tougher than expected. After doing this activity, MooMoo realized that her arms strength really sucks. MooMoo's perseverance and endurance to push all the way is not strong enough, plus really no more energy. Got Heart, No Energy... MooMoo only managed to climb till the 2nd last box to the top. Hahaha. Salute Ms. Mo to reach the TOP. Geng!!!
This little 'ANGMO' girl is real good. She climbs like a monkey all the way up with her older sister. Guess one thing good being a kid is that you're not scared of anything. Funny... she's wearing a monkey T-shirt. So cute!!! She did the climbing and abseiling so many times... going up and down... Shame on MooMoo... kekeke.
Next, after the climbing... MooMoo moved on to the Abseiling part, which is the other side of the wall. MooMoo prefers this part but Ms. Mo hated this part as she prefers the climbing. MooMoo felt that for this Abseiling, the challenge is the 1st part of jumping down. The guy was asking MooMoo to step back but there's nothing behind...how to step back?!? Hahaha... but after doing the 2nd time, getting the techniques right, it's not that bad after all.
These 2 girls were doing quite well, with both the Climbing and the Abseiling. MooMoo met them during the activity and they were very friendly and sporting. Thanks to them for helping MooMoo taking some of the pictures.
Lastly, this is MooMoo doing the 2nd time Abseiling before heading home. MooMoo trying to make her $$$ paid worthwhile so must do Climbing and Abseiling each at least 2 times. MooMoo paid $45 for this 4 hours. It was tiring but MooMoo had FUN!!! MooMoo's arms still aching now. Next time, MooMoo must train hard on her arms to make them stronger to be able to climb all the way to the top. ^=^
* MooMoo finds that in order to Climb and Abseil, one must really banish the 'FEAR' in them in order to go further. Sometimes, it is the 'FEAR' in ourselves that hinder us from going further and achieving what we could have achieve. Guess, it could apply to our daily LIFE as well... in some ways. ^=^
