How difficult are the trails?

The trails range from easiest, Purple, through expert, double Black Diamond. Relative to each person’s ability, the trails are very manageable but become more physically challenging as you progress to more difficult trails. If you have not climbed at our park before, you may be out of your comfort zone at first about being 10 feet above the ground on a Yellow course or 20 feet above the ground at points on a Green course.

You will quickly begin to have fun with the challenges, and the height above the ground will not be your main focus. Your focus becomes being balanced and efficient on each bridge you cross. Our park has the best safety system available on the market as long as your harness is properly on you and you are always attached to your lifeline.
