It was winter break, and my friends and I had discussed on a call that we would go wall climbing on Monday evening. On Monday evening, I got ready and met my friends and their parents at Jagdol. We hiked to Gateway Adventure Hub, and there were not as many people as I expected. I took a big breath and started climbing. Some of my friends were struggling in some of the parts as some of them were new to wall climbing. I realised that we had to communicate with the staff by saying ‘lower me’ to get down, ‘climbing’ while you start climbing, etc. I had to cling both of my hands to a climbing hold and bring my foot up to knee level. We climbed about five times and headed out to eat snacks in a restaurant. The restaurant was a cute and tiny place with five tables and two benches on each table. There was also another place downstairs that had an amazing view of the mountains and the evening clouds. There was also a grey cat living at the restaurant. I ate one and a half plates of momo and drank a cup of tea. After a little bit of chitchat, we went for a little hike in the Jagdol forest. When we reached back home, I could feel my fingers just shaking while I was writing because I put too much pressure on my hand more than my legs.

But at the end, I would like to say that this day is the day I will never ever forget!.
