Celine and Jean are twins who just had their 10th birthday
party at a climbing gym. First, their eight party guests put on
special shoes with sticky rubber on the bottom. Next, they
each snapped on a special climbing harness and a helmet.
Next the relay race to climb the rock-like wall began. The
kids were divided into two teams—one team
for Celine and one for Jean. At a signal, one
kid from each team ran to the wall where an adult instructor tied
a rope to their harnesses. The two kids scurried up the climbing
wall to ring a bell that was at the top. Next, they rappelled, or
slid down the rope, to the ground again. Then the next two kids
in line made the climb. In the end, Jean’s team won the race.
Finally, everyone enjoyed the girls’ birthday cake, which was
decorated like a snowy mountain peak.
