Climbing the dizzy heights...

Friday 30th January saw the Cubs and Scouts join together for a joint climbing night.

We all made our way over to Awesome Walls in Stockport for a night of scaling pretend rock faces! With some cubs never having climbed before I'm sure there was some trepidation on the air...

...but I don't think they needed  to have worried! Starting off with a warm up the instructors then took them on to thetraversing wall to get them used to the hand grips they would encounter on the climbing walls.

Then it was time for the walls!! Whilst mums and dads watched from the safety of the balcony each cub attempted to climb 3 or 4 different levels of climbing wall. Whilst enjoying my coffee I witnessed every single cub who attended try their hardest and their best to scale each wall.

Some climbed higher than others (a large round of applause must go to Max who managed to climb completely to the top of one particular wall) but everybody had a go - and that is the most important part.

Go on Max.... you can do it!!

As it was so successful and everybody seemed to enjoy it, I am sure we will arrange some more climbing in the future.
