man let the children be children, you did it and gain experience, so are the kids, they need these challenges, so let the children be children, let them play.
For that matter, the next event for this group should be one night at Krazy Coconuts when those EXOTIC DANCERS come back
hey i was being sarcastic here ok?
You see this is what is wrong with this country. I suppose all those nay sayers would find it safer that the young people get their minds ‘ENDANGERED’ by the kkk ers and the tattoo palours anf those DJ’s that soil their minds. I remember we doing more challenging stuff thatn this when i was young.
Now we get “KOPAWAYZON” Americanized. i am sure they were not the first to climb those rocks and they certianly will not be the last. Good day.
i know this place and it is not dangerous as it look,
thats were we use to go for dump
As a child i use to travel that same area evry day some times with a bag of lime on my back the area is in pte. mitchel.we have property up that area, it iw a very nice area there is a nice cove ,once you past the rocky area mangoes coconuts nad yampe, ,lots of it so if you can brave the elements try it. from some one front la -pointe mitchel.
there not bad like before
well i might not send my future children to do what we did. lol but we did. Yes it was risky, but you never know if you can accomplish what looks impossible until you try.
We took our time. That was fun!…but what government have to do with that?
papamet if mamzelle had miss a foot and fall back on dem rocks dere….ahwa, some peeple to brave boi #precautionbetterthancure
lol haha check them…
the joys of youth. I keep telling my children, that these are the things to enjoy. Cause when you grow up, you no longer have the time to do these things. It goes into worrying about getting the loans and bills paid. Have good clean fun, and enyoy this part of your youth. You are allowed to walk this road once.
The freedom and joy of school holidays. They are on an outing and this is excellent exercise but dangerous. Children will always be adventurous and take chances. Enjoy but keep safe.
When I was a child a few of us would scale down a precipice. It was something to do. We took the chance but it was fun. We got down there and up with no problem.
My parents were not aware. They were out at that time. Just imagine if they had found out. Today, as an adult, I would not venture doing this nor would I recommend it and encourage it. Children will be children.
why alu haters doe shut up nuh stupes
LOL hahahha yes iiii.. we deadly
allu must tell ms. letang to fix ur fix…the expression is priceless…..lol
My pretty princess i see you!
This looks too danagerous to be attempted without appropriate protective gear…helmet etc…
Ur a whoosie..cuz it wasnt just ATTEMPTED without “approprate gear” .. it was ACOMPLISHED! so ugh… bye?
don’t you mean “Tobefear?” ’cause thats what i get from you.
You must not be from Dominica that then you do not need no gear to do that little thing come on now you not a real Dominican…
Dominicans really amuse me sometimes. If it was saying some child got hurt rock climbing, everyone would be like were was the safety net, how irresponsible of the adults, blah, blah, blah and what have you. Just because people are concerned is not a reason to insult them.
As a child I did all those dangerous things our mothers wouldn’t approve of and I’m sure many of you did as well. God if my mother only knew some of the risks I took……
I agree it looks fun and maybe more dangerous in the picture than it may appear. But as a parent, I would also have some safety concerns about my child doing that. And I know as a child my mother would not allow me to do it.
I agree with you dominicans dont need all that protective stuff. I used to be able to do that with a piece of wood on my head! I know many others could too.
You are correct that is the first thing that came to mind! There is a big difference when experienced people do this. They pay attention to stability of the rock structure plus they are tethered most times to a rope. I would not recommend just climbing any cliff face like that..
Anyway go ahead I ready for the T- downs
I agree witht the two comments above, and would add that the next question you can hope to hear is: “How come government allowing young people to take their lives into their own hands with such wreckless abandon?”
People have a responsibility – they owe it to themselves – to take measures appropriate to protect themselves when they undertake these dangerous activities.
WOW! YOU MENA WE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ROCK CLIMBING IN THOSE PARTS?…AND BY THE SEE TOO!
correction: “SEA”
allu ambitious wi. lol
i love this loaddssss! Reminds me of my days hiking. When you look back you don’t know how you managed to get round that rock!!!
That’s dangerous. No harness, no helmet, no gloves. come on
u neeed to get out more.. seriously…
there were no cuts, no bruises, no broken bone or heads or arms. there was only fun excitement, challenge, and intrepidity… and that was the whole point of the hike… its called growth!
besides harnesses and gloves would have been an impediment and would have increased the risk.
you may not believe me so u should try it to see for yourself
You know what hind sight is 20-20. Growing up in DA we did the same! Most times it was uneventful, but there were the odd times things went wrong. All we are saying is this is dangerous and you all should exercise caution. The people who make those kind of comments care about you all’s safety. All is well until something goes awry…
What you talking about have you ever been to the place its not as dangerous as it looks omg
