Challenge No.5
Pass the Bucket

The bucket has a water level mark on the inside determining how much water has been lost. Points are awarded and deducted as follows:

The idea being that four of your team must start on one side and successfully climb up to the starting point of the line and then attach themselves to it. They then must make their way across the line without touching the floor. The team members must then try and finish on the climbing wall on the other end of the rope and remain on the wall until all members of the team are there. Points are awarded and deducted as follows:

Ten points for a successful crossing of the four members
Two points deducted for each time a member of the team touches the floor

Challenge No.7
Colour Blind
The team has to pick to members to attempt this challenge. These members will then be taken to the easy traverse wall at the back of the centre. The other members will then be told a colour that the two selected members can not touch whilst climbing. They have to guide the climbers across the wall without them touching this certain colour. At no time can any team member mention the colour but can only suggest were to but their hands. The colour may change half way through the climb but your instructor will inform you. Points are awarded and deducted as follows:

Ten points awarded per team member that gets across without touching this colour.
Two points deducted for each time a team member touches the out of bounds colour.
 
Rules of Team Building
Each team has to pick three of the above challenges and tick the ones you choose on the form overleaf. Within your challenges there will be an opportunity to have a go on some of the other aspects of the centre such as climbing the higher walls on ropes and abseiling. A brake will be provided half way through were you can get drinks and snacks from the on site shop. Each team will start with one hundred points and points are added and deducted as above. The instructor’s decision is final when it comes to points awarded and deducted. Your team building experience can be made into a competition between two groups or departments if so wished. Please inform your instructor before the start if this is what you would like to do. Please fill out the form over the page and send back to the centre via fax or email.
