Great 64th birthday present from my husband. I felt both challenged and empowered. I loved not only the physical obstacles, but the challenge of having to think about the best way to proceed. The guides were excellent, and so helpful and encouraging. As other users have suggested, get the gloves & water. Even with the gloves, I still got blisters. I do blister easily though, and my husband did not have the same problem. Equipment and instructions were great and we felt safe at all times. Stepping off the platform to zip line seemed scary at first, but was more fun with each pass. You will love TreeUmph. We will be back especially when guests visit!
