Participants should be in reasonable physical condition and must be able to swim. The program is truly suitable for all levels. The primary focus of Ultimate 2 is adventure racing and all the skills associated with this interesting, wide ranging sport. The program begins with a week of instruction in rock climbing, mountain biking, orienteering, fly fishing and backcountry skills all in the Base Camp area. This offers time for proper acclimation and a chance for each team member to receive a strong footing in the wide range of adventure sport skills involved in the program.
Instruction is geared to both beginners and experienced team members.
The team is sure to catch plenty of fish, see a lot of wildlife and will bag a peak or two along the way. Fishing along the way is in the Lamar River and it's smaller side streams. The backcountry section is designed to improve the fitness level of participants and to help each person become accustomed to the rigors of living in the backcountry. The backcountry sectional also affords great opportunities for developing route finding and map reading skills. As with Ultimate 1, the whitewater section includes a day of rafting followed by a day of flatwater kayak instruction and finally a run down a technical section of the Arkansas.
