4 Day High Ropes Training
Prerequisite: 4 day low ropes training
This four day custom workshop is designed to take
the low ropes enthusiast to the next step- the high
ropes. Although you don't actually have to climb
to attend this workshop, you will be given plenty of
opportunities to do so.
Adventure games and activities will be used throughout the workshop to help develop teamwork, cooperation and trust within the group. The days will be filled with training on the basic skills related to the use of high ropes course elements such as knot tying, belay techniques, selection and safe use of equipment.
At the high elements we stress safety, trust and Challenge by Choice". Participants will be challenged to step beyond their comfort zones and push themselves to accomplish self-set goals. For some it may be to climb two steps up the ladder. For others, it may be to jump off the zip platform (40' in the air).
Participants will receive one on one instruction and practice in belaying individuals who climb the high elements.
- Everyone completing the workshop will receive a certificate and a ropes course manual.
