If you’ve ever wanted to know what it feels like to ‘walk across the air’ without being in an aircraft, try high rope traversing. As the name suggests, the activity involves crossing a distance high above the ground with the help of ropes.
For an added thrill, try high rope traversing over a river. High rope traversing may also be organized between two cliffs or trees in a forest with a clear line of vision between them. The distance traversed varies depending on the location.
This is a great activity for families and friends. Not only does it give you an adrenaline high, but it also boosts self-confidence. For this activity, a rope is stretched between two points at the same height.
This is where high rope traversing differs from zip-lining. For the latter, the rope is a string between two points of varying heights so that the person moves from a higher point to a lower one.
How It Is Done?
Once the rope is tightly strong between the two anchor points, a harness is attached to one and. Participants will be strapped to this harness that can move from one end to the other. A push from one end gives participants the initial momentum after which they must pull themselves to the other end of the rope.
