She noted a few who hadn't moved from their spots, which was no big deal! Whatever they were comfortable with.

Making sure her gloves and shoes were on tight, and with one last stretch of her arms, she made her way over to the left wall. Oh, sticky feet. Made it hard to walk a little. "And if you're ready, you can come on over here and..." Looking up the side of the wall, she reached up and touched her palms to the wall, before one foot connected...and then the other. The professor climbed just a little ways, peeling her hands and feet off the wall to reach higher than before, and when she was a good ten feet up, she turned around to face the class.

"As easy as walking." She grinned. "Go on and try. When you make it to the top, you can wait for me or...you can reach out and touch the ceiling until you're far enough out to connect your feet as well. Feel free to try standing straight when you accomplish that. Don't worry, you'll stick just fine."

Medea took out her wand, giving a flick to a section above her. A large net connecting from one side of the arena to the other slowly came into view, having been disillusioned before the lesson. Just a precaution.

Stretching? Made sense. Nimoe copied what the professor was doing, all the while eying the wall closest to her. You're about to get hardcore climbed, and you don't even know it. If it were any other wall than one located in Hogwarts, she wouldn't even have had the thought, but... who knew how alive this place was? Alive enough to lock them all out of their common rooms, that's how alive. Mean thing.

Once she was stretched, or at least as stretched as she was patient enough to get, she made for the wall. Her first steps were rather like a newborn duckling learning how to use its feet, since the darn shoes seemed to like sticking to the floor as much as anything else. Lifting each foot high into the air and a little to the side as she went felt downright odd, but it got her to the wall without face-planting into the floor.

"Right. Time for awesome."

In her enthusiasm, she put her first hand on the wall as far as it would go. Then the other one. Then realized she was rather stretched out. After a few seconds of contemplative frowning, she swung a leg wide and up, planting it on the wall. Then there was nothing for it but to heave upwards with the other one, crossing her foot under the first leg and planting it. Sure, she was sort of becoming sideways, but it was all a part of the learning process. Then she moved the first foot higher again, since obviously she had to uncross her legs, and suddenly her feet where somehow higher than her hands. She tried to shake one of her braids out of her face, grumbling to herself, "Well this doesn't seem right."
