Vertical Ropes

The bowed top and bottom rope on this Vertical Ropes playground equipment net adds an extra wiggle and wobble. Like a ropes course high in the treetops, the Vertical Rope climber requires you to let go of one rope as you reach for the next one. As an added challenge, you could try to weave yourself in and out of the vertical ropes course like you are dodging pylons. A perfect addition to a Post and Ropes circuit in a natural playground.
