I am going rock climbing for the first time next weekend with my kids.  I'm not too sure about it but maybe you can help me feel better.
Sure! Just remember that accidents are more frequent on the climb down than the ascent, so be careful!
Oh, good tip. I'll remember that.  But how do you get down if I suddenly am too afraid to climb?
You'll probably take another route down - it's very rare for a climber to downclimb.
But they strap you in, right?  Someone is always there to spot me?
Generally, you use specialized climbing equipment to safely complete the route. And I'm sure there'll be someone there to help you!
Yeah, they said there would be a professional there.  I wonder who first thought of rock climbing for an activity.  They must've been brave or wreckless!
I have no idea who would invent this sport! I do vaguely remember one expedition to Mt Everest tho'. That was back in the 70s.
Wow!  I definitely will never attempt anything that big!  I'll start with indoor rock climbing and maybe go from there. It depends on how well I learn climbing technique.
Just remember that your goal is to reach the summit without falling and you'll be just fine. Enjoy!
