Luverne High School students learn to rappel at Blue Mounds State Park

Luverne High School students in Mike Wenninger’s Lifetime Fitness class tested their courage and their footing Thursday morning on the Sioux quartzite cliffs of the Blue Mounds State Park. Each year, Lifetime Fitness class members learn how to rappel, as one of several unique and interesting fitness choices introduced during the semester. The class teams up with Luverne members of the Minnesota National Guard, who teach proper form, technique and safety measures of rappelling.
