"Last night Kel was just brilliant - I panicked and got scared, and she got me safely to the top of the rocks. She was very patient and constructive throughout, which made me feel much calmer and able to continue. I think those moments really help to create a strong sense of team and also give us all confidence that if we encounter something outside of our comfort zone, it won't be the end of the world... One of the things I really enjoy about WWOT!"
