In week 4 the year 11 Outdoor Education class travelled to Vertical Reality climbing in Adelaide. Throughout the preparation for the expedition we developed our climbing techniques as well as components of the planning. This included the development of our own risk assessment, travel arrangements and collaborative skills. When we arrived, we received an induction from Simon and were taught the technique of belaying and climbing. The instructors observed the class do our first climb and belay to ensure our safety. Once the instructors felt comfortable with our technique, they allowed us to tackle the first wall on our own.
