Tyrolean Traverse

^^(On her way across The Flume)^^


During this activity, teens are harnessed and suspended on ropes tied across a gorge. They pull themselves across with their arms, and are then pulled back by staff and their peers. Should they choose, halfway across on their way back they can get "swung." The bottom picture is showing such a choice, as she bounces and swings on the strong stretchy rope. Many of those who participate in this activity report it as one of their favorites while at AE.

  1. when one side is higher than the other (just right to be exact). zipping down on a pulley at high speeds is a good way to get across.
