July 2nd Outdoor Mission Camp
Today I had the privilege of working with great group of people; Outdoor Mission Camp. This group was lead by Ruffin, a man with a warm smile and big heart. There was a variety of counselors there to take part in the challenges. Daniel was the self professed vertically challenged person. After some time training and a test on rope strengths the day before, he was first to volunteer for the 150 foot rappel off the cliff today. He did great job as did the rest.
We set up some climbs under the rappel and set the group loose. Ty and Drew were the crazy climbers of the group, never having enough and pushing themselves to the limit. To Daniels credit, he climbed all the routes and had a great time doing it.
After lunch we traveled to another location and indulged some more on climbing. Jenny belayed as I led a pitch on Cedar. After setting up some routes, the group busied themselves climbing and all the while having a great time. Paul impressed us all with his determination to enjoy the climbing and
Thanks for a great day
Patrick and Jenny
