This is a perennial favourite involving communication and leadership skills together with exhilaration and laughter! The challenge brings your team together to construct a raft out of a variety of equipment.
Once the rafts have been constructed it is a race against the clock across the lake/tarn to the buoy and back to dry land!

GLACIER CROSSING
Welcome to the Gatebeck Glacier. Over the next 15 minutes your team will embark upon an icy journey from one side of the 'ice field' to the other. Equipped with two ladders, your group will soon discover that the route is not as straight forward as you may have first thought. |
RULES FOR THE CROSSING:
1. The ladders are two different lengths and can only be used alternately to bridge the gaps. 2. All team members must be in contact with either a ladder of one of the ice pillars for the duration of the crossing. 3. The first two team members to cross ( the 'leader' and the 'second') will be fitted with harnesses and tied together as per alpine mountaineering tradition. 4. Any team member who loses contact with the ladders or the ice pillars will be out of the challenge. 5. The winning team will be the quickest to cross with all members safe and well at the other side. 6. Ladders cannot be joined together. |
HIGH TOWER TEAM BUILDING EXCERCISE
Your task will finish 15 minutes from now. Using the blocks you must build a tower, the base must be 3 blocks wide. Points are scored by removing the blocks after the tower has been built without the tower collapsing - the more blocks you remove the more points you will score. |
