Answer 1

During summer vacation we went on a rock climbing trip to the nearby Aravali hills. All of us were thrilled at the prospect of rock climbing. When we reached the base camp everyone was curiously listening to the instructions by our coach. We started early in the morning. Slowly I found myself scaling new heights of one of the difficult hills. The mere thought of talking to clouds thrilled me deep inside. But when I looked down towards the ground it was a terrifying experience for me. Suddenly, one of my hands slipped and I was hanging by rope harness.

It was an agonizing moment for me and I felt highly insecure. But to my relief help was not far away. My coach slid down his harness to give me the comfort of safety. This helped me regain my grip. I felt grateful to die coach. Finally, after an arduous crawling I was there, at die peak. It was because of training and timely help from my coach that I got courage to reach there. Watching the beautiful nature from the top was an overwhelming experience for me. The sight of cheering team-mates in the backdrop of the setting sun was an extraordinary sight to be cherished forever.
