Low ropes course.

In “low” exercises, participants do not need to climb to a height of more than two meters, hence the name. For the most part, the participants need to overcome the distance from point A to point B, passing obstacles found on the route. Participants will need additional props to pass obstacles. Insurance during the stages of the “low” course is provided by the training participants themselves and, in some variants, by the trainer. Depending on the goals of the training and the current situation in the team, you can select various exercises that emphasize certain tasks with greater or lesser effectiveness. One of the means of managing the dynamics and the group during the “Low” exercises is the adoption of certain rules for passing the stage.

High ropes course

High Ropes Elements – high ropes course exercises, their main feature is that they take place at a height of 7 to 15 meters and require skills in using climbing systems. All high exercises are performed with insurance provided by the trainer. Usually, 3-4 “high” exercises are built on the training ground.

The main feature of the high ropes course is that, in contrast to the “low” exercises, where success was measured by the successful completion of tasks by all members of the group, any participant makes a personal choice to participate in the “high” exercises. That is, the instructor asks anyone to make a decision independently, developing leadership.
