Climbing Tower
Our 25ft climbing offers a wide range of activities, from a choice of 3 basic climbs, 80m long zip wire, 25ft leap of faith, not to mention a wide range of team building exercises such as the Jacobs Ladder.

How does it work?
As short sessions: Each activity can be run as a one off session (see our taster sessions page).  We run four 1.5 hour sessions throughout the day.
As part of a multi activity package: Combine climbing along with other activities to create a multi activity package; for families (see our family's page) for groups (see our groups page).

All activities are led by our own trained and assessed instructors who aim to give you a fun and safe experience.

Once, (or should we say if?) you manage to reach the top of the tower via the three climbing routes you will have the option to either abseil back down, or if you're brave enough zoom down the zip wire!

You will be secured on to the wire, on a platform suspended 30ft in the air, knees shaking and trying not to look down!
One brave leap and you'll be zooming over tree tops and the heads of spectators below.

If the zip wire seems too tame for you then we have just the ticket!

Once you manage to scale the 25ft pole and are clinging onto a narrow platform, suspended off the tower, there is no going back! The only way down is to J.. Ju,, 321 JUMP!

 

 

 

 

3 men attempting to climb teh Jacobs ladder high ropes asault course at the Galloway Activity CentreJacobs Ladder
A cracking team building option for families and groups alike.

In teams of three you must work together to scale all six horizontally suspended poles.  The catch is that a) they are literally suspended, so therefore wobble and b) the higher you get them more difficult it becomes as the distance between each pole increases.

It's simply not good enough to be a good climber; you must help, support and aid your team mates to reach the top.

A more natural climbing structure is our 35ft tree (and growing!) which will test your nerves.

Secured by a climbing rope and harness, you will work your way up using small holds and grips.  In no time you will be towering above the tree tops and your peers below.
Remember DONT LOOK DOWN!
