Grant's Recent Adventures!!!

Earlier last month Grant spent two weeks in Florida becoming a Federally Certified Marksman Observer. Basically he's a sniper, but I guess that's not the politically correct term anymore since they're not supposed to "snipe" people. While he was running their obstacle course he decided to climb up an "A" ladder and whack his head on the large metal bolt that holds the two ladders together. His scar isn't too bad, stitches may have help that though! ;)


Last week Grant and his SORT team climbed up Marble Mountain in Westcliffe, CO. They started in the valley at the beginning of the treeline around 8,000 feet and climbed up to an elevation of 13,266 feet where they could do some repelling into caves. Grant was pretty tired when he came home, especially since he threw his back not quite a week before. Good thing he got back in time for his soccer game that night!

Here is an image I found that shows a good picture of the mountain to show the hike from the bottom to the top. The red circle shows where the caves were that they repelled through.
