Second Community Service Saturday

We couldn't climb the tower this past service due to a freak April snowstorm so we planned on playing games and going for a hike. Somewhat surprisingly we had a record turn out!

Tag in the snow is definately fun to play and it's extra fun to whipe out!

Daisy was thrilled and made friends easily.

Danny and his crew worked hard to get the fires going to keep us warm and toasty.
Finally we headed up to the ski trail for the view and a group photo!

The two Morgan(ne)'s taught knots in the yurt while waiting for the summit crew to return.

Overall a very nice service day, perhaps a little bit too much snow considering the time of year - but it's all good. Nice job everyone - we'll be on the Alpine Tower this weekend!

Knot Tutorials

For aspiring climbers and ropes course practitioners you can never hone your knots too much.

That's why I made a video of tying a few key knots. But if that's not quite working for you then check out this animated knot website - it has tons of knots on it, with great quality photos and slow or fast animations. Thanks to the Alpine Towers newsletter for the tip
