Extreme Physical Education | Wednesday | Period 1
The class was back in the Danger Shop again. Where there were kayaks last week, today, there were piles of harnesses, ropes, helmets, clips, shoes, and various other equipment. Once everyone had arrived, Fraser started his lecture.
"Today," he said, smiling at the group, "we're going to go rock climbing. Rock climbing is a sport in which those participating ascend natural rock formations or artificial rock walls. The goal is, of course, to reach the top of the summit. Rock climbing is both mentally and physically taxing and can be very dangerous so before we start anything, we're going to go over the basics of the sport."
Fraser then launched into a lecture about proper climbing techniques and then went through each piece of climing equipment.
"The safety equipment is mandatory. No one gets to climb if you don't gear up. The equipment is here to protect you. Please, put your equipment on as I've just demonstrated now."
Fraser moved to do the same since he figured the students could watch him if they'd forgotten. Once they were all geared up, Fraser launched into another portion of the lecture about the styles of climbing since one person might prefer one way and another a different way.
"Now that we've gotten the basics out of the way, we're going to go rock climbing." He pushed a few buttons to get the simulation started. "Today, we're going to be climbing in Alaska in a place called The Wedge. Take your time, get used to the gear and climb when you're ready and have fun."
