I remembered when I was a child, my dad took me to Woodbine Fantasy Fair and I tried on a kiddy high rope. It was so high for me that time that I started breaking into tears of fear. It took me a good half an hour to calm down and for my dad to convince me to complete the course while he followed me behind. I feared about insecurity and that the harness was enough to keep me safe. I was probably too young to even understand how a harness works.

To overcome my childhood fear, I challenged myself on the high ropes at YMCA Cedar Glen Outdoor Centre during a volunteer event from work. There were other activities at the centre too, including, archery, outdoor maze and rock climbing but I felt that this was a chance for me to untie my knot with the high ropes (see what I did there?).
