I am terrified of heights, but a girl I mentor really wanted to do a high ropes course, so I took her. The way the course is set up, you are gradually eased from low, easy obstacles to the higher, more difficult challenges. Even though I came down half way through the third set of challenges (out of 5), I felt very accomplished for having gotten that far, then I even did the Triumph zip line, which is a monster to climb up to. Very successful day! Only slight down side was that my mentee got rope burn on the Tarzan swing and had to quit after that. It would be great if the gloves they provide you (at extra charge - definitely recommend getting them) had some type of gripper material on the palms.
