giant ladder
the giant ladder is (oddly enough) a giant sized rope ladder with 4x4's for rungs that are from 4' to 6' apart. it's a teamwork element ascended by two people. i've been trying to solo it for years. the first day there was this 21 year old visitor to camp who schooled us with a pullover maneuver. i couldn't perform it then. but i practiced it on the tot lot. the second day i mastered the pullover but burned myself out getting my fat partner up a few rungs. i balanced on the top rung but missed the stand for the wire. damn. but better than most years. then it rained. on the third day the thing was too slimy for solo work. my partner dan and i made it look easy.
