Cox Seeks Excitement Senior Mike Cox was caught in the act of one of his most unique pas- times. This past summer and many previous summers he has managed to escape his daily duties for a while and enjoy risking his life for feelings of adventure and dare. Although sum- mer is the season he most usually raps pels rnountainsides, spring is another time that is appropriate for this odd habit. Winter along with fall is usual- ly too cold and lack of time is also a reason for not scaling the face of mountains and cliffs. Mike took time out to rappel cliffs near Sand Springs on the last day of summer break be- fore he had to return to Charles Page. There are many various places that Mike practiced scaling mountains and faces of cliffs. Many are located in or near his hometown. Engine Head, lo- cated off Avery Drive is one of his favorite places to rappel. These cliffs overlook the Arkansas River and cre- ate a fantastic view for those who are able to make it to the top. Another mountain that the rappeler experi- ments with is located on the north side of Chandler Park. These are also very scenic mountains that enable the climber to enjoy the view that cap- tures Metropolitan Tulsa. Still an- other cliff is called Rainy Rock Cove, also located in Sand Springs, Other cliffs that are good for rappelling can be found near Tahlequah. I rappel mountainsides not only for the sport and excitement that it gives me, but what are mountains for? I climb them simply because they're there, remarked Cox. tit! .au JUST HANGING AROUND - Senior out- tains in and around the area of Sand Springs. doorsman Mike Cox participates in one of his He remarked that he rappels where ever and unique hobbies.
