The high course elements
usually range from 30 to 60 feet off the ground. Although these elements improve teambuilding and problem-solving skills like the low elements, the high elements focus more on reaching individual goals and going past your comfort zone. |

Berma Bridge | Bottomless Berma Bridge | Catwalk |
This element is made up of one cable to walk on and two cables to hold on to, on either side of you. You must cross the cable and reach the other side. | This element is made up of a number of ropes to walk on and two cables to hold on to, on either side of you. You must cross the ropes to reach the other side. | This element is nothing but a telephone pole. With nothing on either side of you, you must use your good balancing techniques to get to the other side. |
Climbing Wall | Dangling Duo/Jacob's Ladder | Pamper Pole |
This element is a regular teamwall with fake rocks placed selectively for you to use to climb to the top. | This element is a giant ladder that dangles from two cables. The object is for a team of two to help each other to the top of the ladder without falling off. As the partners climb, the rungs get farther apart (reaching up to 6 ft apart). | This element is a forty-foot telephone pole. You must climb up the stable rungs to the top, balance on the pole, and then jump off and try to grab the trapeze bar that swings 3 feet from your standing. |
Heebie Jeebie | Inclined Log | Flying Squirrel |
This element is made up of three ropes crossing each another. You must make it to the other side as the ropes swing and bend every which way. | This element is made up of a short telephone pole. Balance your way up the inclined log to make your way to the top. | This element is more of a ride than a challenge. You, the, "flying squirrel," are hooked to one end of a belay rope and a number of people from the group are hooked to the other end. On the count of three, you and your group run in opposite directions, lifting you into the air in no time. |
Multivine | Rapunzel's Crossing | Zipline |
This element is made up of one cable to walk on and numerous hanging ropes to assist you in crossing to the other side. | This element is made up of two large braided ropes (like Rapunzel's hair) that you must use to cross to the other side. | This element is made up of nothing more than a cable to slide down. After getting hooked up, you must push yourself off the platform to go for a ride (often called the "leap of faith"). |
Some other high elements include: Giant Swing Horizontal Ladder Pirate's Crossing Steel Crossing Two Ships Crossing Wild Woozy |
