The event started at 6:00pm. Most of the Scouts and their parents started arriving between 5:30 and 5:45. Most of the Scouts were wide eyed as they sized up the challenges in front of them. After a brief saftey demonstration, we started climbing. Most of the Cubs seemed a little tentative at first, but then as they watched their friends inch a little higher each time, and they heard the shouts of encouragement from each other, all of them were soon climbing all the way to the top of the wall! Soon the parents were getting into act and hopping on the wall themselves...

We broke for a quick dinner of pizza and then were back on the wall for some more climbing. As the night wore on, we stopped climbing in favor a movie and then lights out. A quick breakfast in the morning was followed by some last minute climbing before the event came to a close at 8:30 in the morning. The scouts left wanting to come back the next day!

It was amazing watching all the scouts gain confidence in themselves as they overcame the various hurdles on the wall. We had scouts from all ages, Tigers and Wolves all the way up to WebelosIIs on the wall. (And some older "Cub Scouts" as well!!)

The picture gallery from the event  tried to capture some of the fun we had last spring.

We received lots of positive feed back from the previous event at Boulder Morty's. A sampling of the comments:

"I know [my Scout] had a lot of fun there with his dad!"
