Students at Kincardine District Secondary School were reaching greater heights this past week as they climbed rock walls and other equipment provided by The Guelph Grotto. The climbing walls were set up for Monday morning and physical education classes were using them through to Thursday afternoon, as well as ascending lines, rope ladders, slack lines, and the most difficult challenge, the "Firecracker" - a single rope with rungs on it. Anyone who was able to climb the "Firecracker" to the top was allowed to write his/her name on the ceiling in the gymnasium. The rock-climbing walls are an annual event at KDSS and while Grades 9-10 students learn to use the equipment safely, Grades 11-12 students are allowed to push the limit and try some major challenges.
