Tiffany just talked me through the steps of how to put a video on our blog so now you all have suffer through the videos I'm going to put on here.....
There are clips of me doing all of the elements on the challenge course with out coming down. Sorry for the quality but I hope you can tell whats going on.
This is the first element called the Disks. You can either sit on the disks or stand. I find it easier to stand.
The next element is called the catwalk or the log. This is the easiest and hardest one we have. I had the most trouble with this element as you can tell.
After the cat walk there is the pirates cross. This gets hard right in the middle.
This element is called the vines where you have three ropes hanging at different lengths so you really have to reach out far to grab the next rope and to move on. You're not really supposed to swing like I did but I thought it would be fun to try.
This is actually how you are supposed to cross the vines.
I have already completed all of the elements at this point and the only way down is to fall so I thought that I would try something that is vertually impossible. I wanted to walk the wire without using the ropes. As you can see I didn't make it very far.
These are the kinds of things that Cassandra and I have been doing all summer...aren't we the luckiest!

WAY COOL! Just so you know I was the FIRST girl to complete the pirates cross (which I didn't know that is what it was called) and I had a four hr. rescue with a 130lb 9yr old on the cat walk (yea, I sould've just pulled her down AND we shouldn't have let a 9yr old go up in the first place.. oops!). GREAT memories!! :)
I thought maybe I had gotten over my fear of heights, but after watching you go through these "tricks" I'm pretty sure I haven't! It looks pretty amazing!
so the vines is definitely my favorite one =] haha..that's awesome!!
That's awesome that you got to do that all summer! I have done a high ropes course ONE time, and I LOVED it!!
Awesome job Zach. Cassandra did you do much on the ropes course this summer?? I'm glad you are home now and adjusting to school. Go Fighting Scots!!!!
Ready for another post, crazy Haughs....
