High Elements

Ropes Course Challenge for your Body and Mind

The High Elements of our Challenge Ropes Course consist of a series of obstacles which occur 20-40 feet above the ground.

Experienced and skilled facilitators belay individuals and teams through each of the five elements as each participant attempts to tackle their own comfort level.

Safety is maintained through the employment of helmets, harnesses and ropes in technical climbing belay systems. High elements include:

Leap of Faith (Climb 40 feet up a pine tree to a platform, and then jump to a trapeze)
Pipe Dream (Cross the high-wire cable in tandem; trust & communication with your partner is a must!)
Climbing Wall (Can accommodate 2 climbers at once, choose your own route according to skill level)
Balance Beam (Your guide will give you a series of challenges as you cross the swaying, twisting beam)

*Online booking available for high-ropes course or ropes & rafting combo. For More options, choose request info.

Although these activities were quite a bit more challenging, they were great too because they challenged us beyond our comfort zone allowing us to create a 'new normal'. I still don't know how Brian and I made it across your Pipe Dream!

What in the world is a “belay” system?

To participate in any of the High Elements of our Challenge Ropes Course, you will be connected to one of our experienced facilitators who will be “on belay” while you are climbing.

As you conquer each of the five High Ropes elements, you will be protected by a rope attached to your harness. The other end of the ropes is held by the facilitator, who is known as the “belayer”. The belayer runs the rope through a “belay device” that is attached to his or her own harness and feeds the rope out as you climb higher.

Using a belay system enables the belayer to hold the entire weight of the climber with just a small amount of force and can easily catch or lower a climber who needs assistance.

Too much air underneath your feet?

The Low Elements of our Challenge Ropes Course incorporate fun and thought-provoking challenges, closer to the ground, to promote communication, group collaboration, and team building.
