Bottle Pushing
The object of the game is to see who can stand the bottle up farthest from the starting line. The only thing allowed to touch the ground past the starting line is one persons hands. Your partner is not allowed to touch the ground past the starting line. The first person lays on the ground with their feet behind line and supporting themselves with their hands. Usually have one hand around the waist and the other as far out as you can. The second person then steps on hand by the waist and then onto the hand extended out. Once he is balanced on the hand farthest out he leans out, usually grabbing the wrist and hooking their foot under the arm, and sets the bottle up as far as he\she can.

Rebirthing
After the game of bottle pushing it was over to a boulder problem called Rebirthing. You start at the top of the boulder and slide down into this chimney between the next boulder on your stomach. On the way down you have to either get a hand or fist jam and swing around through the crack and work your way between the boulders into the front and then back up.
