Hedge Climbing

---

For a team building activity my outreach (Africa) team went hedge climbing. Basically it is a bunch of big hedges (small trees) all in a row and you have to climb from one end of the row (about 10 or so) to the other end, with out touching the ground. I warned my team that I had never climbed a tree before, and I was actually really scared. Never the less they all insisted that I could do it, and they would help me the whole way. I fell! I made it about half way along, with them doing an excellent job of guiding me. I got to a part where I had to grab hold of one branch and then step of another and hang, while the guy would pull me on to the other branch. Well I did all that, accept my strength didn’t hold my bodies weigh and instead of hanging, I fell! I was very embarrassed, had a few bumps and scratches. Oh and I ripped my pants on the side of my leg from below the knew to my hip! This is why I don’t climb trees. It was a good experience, and I glade I gave it a go, but I will not be doing it again anytime soon.
