RMH has finally started!

I apologize it's been a couple weeks since I've updated. Things have been pretty busy since guide training started. The guides all showed up the weekend of the 15th and we started training pretty quickly. The first week was mostly training for rock climbing and rappelling. The next week was our guide trek and we climbed Mt. Columbia. We were able to summit successfully, but the wind was awful.

The first group of students showed up yesterday! So things are moving along very well. Please pray that the week goes well, and that lives are changed.

Here are some pictures from the first week of guide training. I'll update more in the next couple of days.

It wouldn't be guide training without some snow. Gotta love May in Colorado.

Ropes Course progress

I just wanted to let you all know how we are doing on the new High Ropes Course. We currently have all of the platforms done, the belay cables are up and the guy cables are stretched. So all of the support and safety systems are in place, and we're ready to start creating the different elements. Here is a little video so you can see what it looks like.



The tower in the middle is how you will access the whole course. The middle platform is at 25 feet high, and from there you can go out onto each of the different elements. The upper platform is at 40 feet high and is where you will rappel from.

I'll continue to post updates as we progress. I don't think we're going to have it done before summer starts, but hopefully we'll be able to finish it during the summer.

Come out and try it sometime.
