Scouterhorn at Arlington Archdiocese Campout

2022-05-07

The Archdiocese of Arlington hosted a family campout the weekend of 7 May. The Scouterhorn was used at that campout. Thanks to dedicated volunteers, we had no incidents, though in the future, we need to bring the Scouterhorn down when weather conditions could lead to hypothermia or hyperthermia. Though there was no thunder (lightning) or high winds, very few participants were prepared for the weather. Better not to have a "attractive nuisance" than enable people to get cold and wet. What would you do if in this situation? Please send email to Tony Waisanen at NCAC.COPE@gmail.com with your opinion.

The team; Chris, Ranjith, and Tony. Notice how we’re ready for cold and wet. I was disappointed Chris could not stay past 11:00 am, but at least Ranjith stayed. Thanks, Ranjith!

This young fellow was almost as insistent on reaching the top!

He kept trying.

Made it ALL the way to the top (and then some). Specks in the picture are water drops on the lens of my iPhone.

The video of the return. Notice how jumping and spinning can result in getting hung up. The Scouterhorn does NOT want to say Good bye!

Video of ALMOST making it!

Getting close!

Almost there, but left hand is too low to be helpful. Need to practice keeping hands above the head.

Video of descent, but started late so didn't hear the buzzer.

At the other climbing tower. Commercial operators have more latitude in how to comply with safety; no helmets.

Different harness. The only label referenced the distributor, not manufacturer
