Bolton Obstacle Course

Bolton Obstacle Course is a fun course designed to measure physical ability, balance, and upper body power. I passed all obstacles with full points. I also took a lot of pictures. To view an enlargement of any picture, simply click the picture! :-)

Here we had to step over wooden bars. Use of hands and falling over or toughing other bars is all unauthorized. I'm short (in case you didn't notice) so I had to hop, grab the bar with my butt, and swing my legs around. Very comfortable. ;)

Here I am flipping over a tall wall!


This is just a really tall ladder. I didn't take any striking photos here, but Spinali snapped this one of me:


OC's Kohlmetz and Andrews, I think. You just slide across logs that are rolling and get to the end without falling off.


Directions are to climb up a rope, walk across narrow slats, climb a ladder, and then climb down a rope mesh.

OC Billings:



Here we simply slid down a tall rope on a slant. OC Puhalla:

This obstacle is called "Tough Nuts" and you lose if you touch any wood! OC Williams:


Here you climbed up one end of a tilted ladder and down the other. OC Spinali (landing hard):

OC Wolf... hey! That's me!


OC Trevino is balanced.


The monkey bars in the background are part of this same obstacle. This is OC Dalton:


This is The Weaver. You go under one bar, over the next, and repeat. The structure as a whole goes up and then down. From the top down you can see Williams, me, and then Billings.

That course looks insane.

Some of those pictures for the titled ladder look like the landing really hurt...

Glad to you here you did so well!!!

Some of those pictures kind of resemble the riggings of a pirate ship... all you need is a scimitar in your teeth!

Also, re: your previous post (yard beautification), do they ever have you do landscaping stuff, like plant flowers and shrubs? Flowers and shrubs seem to make everything look better, even if you let the lawn go....
