We gave everyone a week to absorb information to help get the duct tape merit badge in place. It’s time to move on.
This weekend, we traveled out to El Rancho Cima to hang out (pun intended) on the climbing tower. The boys had a great time climbing the 40+ feet tower and then repelling off the back side. Most, even the experienced climbers, found going off the back of the tower a lot different from going off a rock. Almost everyone climbed at least once. We were very proud of them.
Other than some early morning sprinkles, the rain held off for the most part until last night. Even then, it wasn’t too bad.
After climbing from 8am til noon, the boys fished and played in the shallow (below knees of course) part of the river. We finished off a great afternoon with searching the old archery area for flint rock.
All in all, we had a great time with mininal issues. A great success with pictures to follow soon on the flicker site!
Sounds fun! I want my Venture Crew to get a climbing experience in July.
