25 Jul Part 2 - The Toothpick!

In the afternoon following our litter carry exercise and building an Alaskan shelter, we headed over to "the toothpick", rock climbing wall, and the ropes course. The toothpick is essentially a telephone pole, parallel to the ground, 40 feet high. We were given helmets, harnesses, and gloves, and climbed up the tower to go out. For some it was easier than others, but we all did it! After going out and back across the toothpick, we rappelled down the wall of the tower. Enjoy the pictures!

Lieuuuuuuutenant Webb!
The following eye-level pictures were captured by Capt Fesler, our flight commander, who was at the top of the tower cheering us on (and yelling at us to finish up already!):
