‘Noah, you’re first.'
I stare up at the platform. Rock wall up, ropes away. I cling to the wall and move, hand hold by hand hold, up the
wall. That seemed easy enough. Now, where to next? From the platform the tyres
stand out. They twist and slip under my feet. One more step and I’m on the next
platform.
Bomp! I land. Now there are two ways, right or left? Left, I decide. The
rope sways and sways until I lose my footing.
'Woah!’ I say as I dangle off the rope about four metres off the
ground. My mouth accidentally lets rip some words I definitely cannot repeat
in print.
Twang! The rope pings up and I go shooting down.
Thud! The shock
races up my legs.
Too bad you don’t have suspension springs in your legs!
