The Climb...

Last Thursday, we had our last official day of training. We spend the day at the climbing wall and the other high ropes course (this one is about 10 feet higher and requires more physical strength).
The climbing wall has two sides, each side with a hard, harder, & hardest path. We practiced rescues and spent some time climbing as teams (three of us were tied together so that we had to climb at the same pace and work as a team to get to the top). In the afternoon, we learned about the adventure course (the higher ropes course) and had the opportunity to do a partner climb. For this climb we were clipped together and had to climb up a pole, stand up on a 2 foot by 2 foot platform, and then jump off! It was quite the experience and it was very rewarding once we completed the task.
