High Ropes

All Aboard High Ropes

A real test of nerve and teamwork. The challenge being to ascend a seven-metre pole using the holds provided and then to mount a platform. If this is not challenging enough you can then invite up to three more of your friends or colleagues to join you! Participants are involved not only in climbing but also in the essential role of helping each other to safely ascend the pole.

Our high zip wire involves you launching yourself off the top of our climbing tower; stepping off the top is something you have to do yourself, it's a personal challenge supported by your team. At the end, your team will work together to help you abseil down from the zip wire in a safe and unique way. It's very fast and gets your heart pounding and understandably is one of our most popular on-site challenges

Our lower zip wire is accessible from the ground and allows students with additional needs to get used to the idea of swinging through the air at great speed. We support students with disabilities to get to the top of the tower through a unique system of trapdoors, so all your group can complete this challenge. It really boosts confidence and is an unmissable part of the One Education Outdoors experience at Ghyll Head.

Climbing wall

Our purpose-built climbing tower has two walls with climbing routes of varying difficulty. Used as an introduction to climbing or as part of one of our skills progression courses, the walls give you plenty of opportunity to work on climbing fundamentals. The climbing wall is a good choice if you would like to visit the Centre for the day and combines well with a zip wire and lake-based session. Climbing can also be offered as one of our GCSE, BTEC or A-Level PE options.
