Modern ropes course incorporate sophisticated belay and safety systems using wire rope, friction devices, and climbing harnesses to manage what before were unmanaged risks. Modern ropes course make use of a variety of materials other than trees, including utility poles and steel structures.
Ropes course usually consist of high or low elements. While some elements take place just a few feet from the ground, high elements are sometimes 60 feet above the ground. A high ropes course can be a pre-fabricated, professionally installed course. Some participants may have a hard time completing the course due to its height and the physical challenge. Low ropes course consist of a series of real and imaginary obstacles designed to challenge groups and individuals to work together to accomplish a task.
