15 years ago my father decided to have a 1 acre rope course built 30' above the ground behind his home. It has evolved over the years and grew to include a 150' zip line, 8 obstacles paths, 4 repel lines, an elevator pulley, a cargo net climbing wall, and a hammock (50' in the air). The base of the course houses 2 balance beams and a rock climbing wall. It's pretty awesome assuming you don't mind heights, bruises, pulled groins, and concussions.

A few pics from the warmer months...

My father at 70 years of age ripping down the zip line last weekend.
