Rest Of the ROPES course (what I remember)

Okay first off sorry I am horrible at this game! Last month we had our ropes course up at the U right and I wrote a little on the first day and then.... nothing. A quick recap. The second day we went up to the U of U ROPES course. The officers all had a great time. The first half of the day they spent involved in many team building and problem solving activities. The first thing we did that morning was sit around in a circle and state our mood for the day and our name of course.. and mine was a little Tired, a little Wired (due to the energy drink I downed on the way up) and extremely excited. The Officers learned a lot about the other members of their team and it was great to watch them come together as such. After our delicious lunch of Subway we started on the really exciting and fun stuff... The actual climbing. They did 3 different Climbing elements.. They did one where they climbed up about 30 ft and then walked across a log to the other side. A few of the students even did it blindfolded. Go Them! and then they did one where again they climbed a pole up about 30 ft. and then they walked across a wire... just like the tight rope at the circus! I was so impressed with each officer and their courage and their encouragement of each other. While we were in the middle of the second one clouds started to roll in so I was put on lightning watch duty.. So I got to go sit up on the hill all alone and watch from afar the officers working together. The last element they did was one where they climbed up again a 30 foot pole and stood up on top (imagine Karate Kid but up really high in the air) and then they had to jump off. There was a trapeze out about 5 feet for them to try and grab which a few of them did and a few of them didn't quite make it... tell you what from past experience that is one of the scarier ones. I mean you get up 30 ft in the air and you are balancing on this pole and then you on your own free will have to jump off to your doom!!! haha well not your doom but that is what you are thinking. All together it was a great day. After the course we went and met up with Clark (the Net guru guy) and had dinner and then back to the hotel where Clark filled us in on what the advisors are going to be doing for ULTI then we did officer installations that night.. which were a hoot. The College officers Arrested the High School Officers and Sentenced them to a Year of Skills and the High School Officers Knighted the College officers and armed them all with Mops. It was a fun day. The next day however was all work.. We worked super hard on ULTI and planning it out. The Officers worked really hard and I am really proud of their hard work so far.. I know that they want to make ULTI the best experience for the School Officers as they can. I believe they are going to do a great job!
