High Ropes Course
Mar 26th, 2007 by RBC
It’s hard to tell from this photo, but these girls are more than 35 feet up in the air! That’s because they’re climbing on our 50-ft high ropes course Alpine Tower. It’s the coolest jungle gym you’ve ever seen, and unlike others, the Rockbrook tower has a roof (keeping things much drier), an overhanging climbing wall, and a crazy “bump out” to climb over. We open the tower every day at camp, so you can climb and climb. High ropes course climbing is the first step in our rock climbing program progression. Here you learn the basics about climbing techniques, safety protocols and equipment, and then it’s off to the next step— climbing at Castle Rock, our granite slab outcropping up the hill from the center of camp. After that, there are almost limitless climbing routes available in the Pisgah National Forest nearby. No wonder there are so many great rock climbers at Rockbrook!
Hey! OMG i went on that it is so much fun! lol so i hope everyone has a great summer!!!!
I’m new at Rockbrook and haven’t been there yet. Are Juniors allowed on the High Ropes Course. I’m a 4th grader in Ohio and after I found out that I could go to camp, All I’ve wanted to do was go on the ropes.
Thanx, Melody-Kate
Hi Melody-Kate,
Yes, you can!!!!!! The Juniors are allowed to climb the Alpine Tower. And don’t worry, there’s lots of ways to get to the top to try.
See you at camp!
Once you get to the top how do you get back down again?
The way down is easy! The person belaying you (holding and controling the other end of the rope attached to you and holding you up if you slip) lowers you down on the belay rope. Some people like being lowered the best because it is like being on a big rope swing.
Coming across the blog of the Rockbrook Camp describing rock climbing activities for young teens.

Every year that I have come to RBC, I climbed the tower. It is soooooo much fun, even if you hate high places ( like me). A lot of girls do it one time, then want to do it a million times more!
