Girls Climb Cliff Blindfolded

My wife is a Girl Scout Leader and they did a camping trip this last weekend. She was relating some interesting stories about the activities and I thought I would blog one here. Aside from the humorous tale of the Volunteer for making the morning coffee for all the adults (a very critical chore), who turned out to be a Jehovah Witness and never drinks, or makes, coffee, there was rock climbing.

The girls were doing so well and the artificial cliff had 3 hours paid for that they (the Leaders and Rock Climbing Teacher) were looking for more activities to keep it interesting. My wife suggested that she would like to see more team building amongst the girls. And, the Teacher came up with this for the three best climbers...

The Climber was blindfolded and then the other girls talked her up to the top. The Climber had to trust the other girls to say where a foot or hand needed to go next.

It was a huge success and fun was had by all!
