I and another member went through the long, cold, miserable and painful, "train the trainer" course on Camp SLO with the National Guard. (May they live forever in the halls of Valhalla) ) This allows us to run the high ropes and rappelling tower and blessed us as  "factory Certified" to run the equipment on Camp SLO. We can also train course "facilitators" ( course instructors)  Say the word and we will be there to run the climbing wall, towers, etc. and if allah permits, the deadly rappelling tower!
