BARRED OWL COURSE

Like the wise barred owl, this course is characterized by a slower, more cerebral experience in physical problem-solving. Your guide dynamically belays you through four traditional challenge elements for a climb that becomes progressively more difficult. Set new goals and be fully present as you swoop, owl-like, to a height of 25 feet in the company of your peers and the lofty canopy of trees. The ultimate practice of communication and teamwork, this course offers elements designed to challenge you with a progression of difficulty. Your experience includes a combination of the Cat Walk (walk across a 20-foot beam, 25-feet in the air), Islands in the Sky (a series of platforms progressively spaced apart, ending at 30-feet high and 30-feet long), Multi-Vine Traverse (walk on a foot cable using progressively spaced hanging ropes, 40-feet high and 35-feet long), and Postman’s Walk (two-line cable footbridge with supporting rope). 105 MIN | $150

FLYING SQUIRREL

Frolic like the playful creatures of the outdoors and take flight 35 feet above ground. Wearing a full body harness and helmet, you are lifted up while you hold a rope. Work cooperatively with the instructor and your group to lift and release you in this liberating journey. 105 MIN

GIANTS LADDER

This element is a true test of communication and teamwork – it is almost impossible to complete alone. A 35-foot ladder is strung between two trees and requires two guests to help each other move from level to level while on a dynamic belay. The higher you climb, the more difficult the task becomes, as the rungs of the ladder get further and further apart, requiring heightened collaboration and focused communication. 110 MIN

Lean and rely on each other for support as you move, hand-to-hand, along the element. The element widens as you progress to the point of a horizontal body position.

LEANING POST

This community event is all about teamwork. Your team will be asked to hold multiple support ropes as well as a 25-foot vertical climbing pole to support each climber on their way to the top of the pole, where the climber will make the transition to standing. After you reach the top, take a moment to marvel at the view, releasing what no longer serves you as you jump into the majestic Berkshire forest and are safely lowered back to the ground. 105 MIN

Glide into a 25-foot free fall, then continue descending the next 25 feet as you are safely and slowly lowered to the ground at a rate of six feet-per-second. Experience a pure moment of bliss as you face your fears and feelings in this juncture of suspension and release. 105 MIN
