With no prior rock climbing experience, these kids climbed a completely vertical rock face, 40 feet into the skyline, an exercise to prove to themselves that they can accomplish any goal that their mind can conceive. Champions Sports Adventure Programs, which facilitated the activity, co-owner Brad Lupien explained the goal of the experience by saying, "When faced with the challenge of trusting the rock climbing equipment, the climbing guides, their peers and, most importantly, themselves, the AGBU teens demonstrated both a phenomenal ability to work together and an immeasurable amount of self-confidence."
