High Ropes Course Descriptions

All of these high ropes elements are at a height of 30 -45 feet.

Giant's Ladder - This can be used by two people at a time.  The rungs on this ladder are made of large wood timber joined by ropes.  What makes this element difficult is that the rungs range from 3 feet to almost 6 feet apart.

Power Pole - One participant climbs a utility pole using staples to reach the top of the pole.  Upon reaching the top the participant leaps from the top of the pole attempting to catch a trapeze bar that is suspended in the air.

Zip Line - The zip line is on the top level of the trapezoid and used as one method for exiting the static course.  The participant completes a normal change over to the elements K-2 pulley.  The participant uses the pulley to slide from the platform and toward the dismount ladder.

Broken Bridge - Two parallel cables strung horizontally between two poles that are approximately 2 feet apart.  Strung between the cables are a series of 4x4’s; some of which are whole, while some are broken.  The goal is to traverse across this bridge.

Multi-vine Traverse - This is a single tensioned foot cable with dangling ropes suspended from an overhead cable at varying intervals.  

Wilder Woozy - Two tightly strung foot cables progress outward from a common utility pole terminating at poles approximately 12 feet apart and 35 feet from the starting pole.  Each foot cable has a separate belay cable.  Two participants, one on each cable, move out along the diverging cables using each other as support until they can go no further.  Each participant is belayed with a separate dynamic belay.

Trapezoid (Two-Line Bridge, Burma Bridge, Buddy Beam, Balance Beam, Heebie Jeebie) - A series of individual challenges with multiple levels and multiple challenges from moving over telephone poles to moving across wire foot cables.  Participants are instructed on how to safely operate their personal static belay system on the ground prior to accessing the element.  All transfers are supervised by trained participants or facilitation team members. 

There are many other teambuilding games and initiatives which can be chosen for your group.
