After I finished my shift at the archery range, I headed over to the ropes course. The ropes course had been closed so far our semester, so this was my first-ever time on it!
The first thing I climbed was the panther pole, which is basically a telephone pole, at the top of which you have to stand up and jump for a stuffed lion hanging in front of you. I was SO scared at the top! Like, I didn’t think I’d be that scared. But it is *really* high up. And it’s so easy to fall (although you are in a harness). And climbing up so that you’re standing on top of the telephone pole is SO hard. I was so scared I was shaking at the top, lol. But I’m really glad I did it. After I jumped, I swung back and hit the pole. But it didn’t hurt too much…

After the panther pole, I did the Tower of Power. The Tower of Power is…well, here’s the picture:

Basically, people race to climb to the top. It’s really tiring.
First, you have to climb up the rope, then through tires, then moving horizontal poles, then moving vertical poles. After I did it, my forearms were SO tight. And the next day I found all these bruises all over my body from it, lol. But I made it to the top! The people in the pictures aren't me ‘cus I didn’t get a picture on it…but I did do it, lol
