Rock Climbing

I'm finally out again! Actually it's just to meet up with Cheryl and Robert who are on the way back to Nilai, gonna spend the weekend with them. Was in Inti music room watching them doing worship practice, honestly it's not any better than Nilai UC's music room :P

Meeting them up in Serdang station:

Just nice, they were organizing a rock climbing trip at Putra Jaya. Since I have nothing to do, and most of them are going, I have no choice. Seriously, it kinda impress me that there is such a nice place in Malaysia, the indoor rock climbing building looks high class.

Arrive at Putra Jaya Challenge Park:

We were split into 2 groups, 1 started with bouldering and another rock climbing. What a pleasure to have a few experienced climber, also students from UniKL to guide us throughout, the staffs there weren't much helpful after all. I kinda like bouldering (seems it's easy), did more than 10 rounds I think.

Bouldering beginner zone:



Next on, we're there for real rock climbing. Gosh~ it's like 5-storey high, can't imagine myself in that position. For safety purpose, 2 person are tied by a rope that hooked at the top end. One person gonna act as an anchor down there to hold the climber's position when he needs rest and loosen it when he needs to get down.

This is teamwork:

I was OK for at the beginning, keep on climbing smoothly and finally it's 1 more stone to reach the top. Crap~ I'm stuck at that position, there's no reachable rocks around. It took long enough til I struggled and touched the last rock, but my stamina fails me... I have no more strength to pull myself up. Ah~ but thanks a lot to my anchor down there, he gave me really good instructions and it was really fun.

The other professional climbers:


"Assign to each man the specific things he is to carry."
-Numbers 4:32

At that kind of high altitude, when instruction is given "you can let go of your hands now". Thinking that your grip depends on the 4 stones that you are stepping and holding, and your life will just be on a rope, how daring are you to let go? Sometimes, God has given his instruction, but are we willing to give all of our life for it? Pray all this in Jesus name, Amen.
