Rope courses that contain high ropes are usually for older rope courses participants because they are generally more risky. Rope courses such as these suspend participants at high elevations. The thrill is definitely worth it in these rope courses. The low ropes in rope courses are for younger participants, generally children. The rope courses are kept low to the ground, and can involve many props including tires, swinging rope, and more.
Some rope courses involve climbing structures, such as walls or man-made mountains.
These rope courses structures have knobs going up to the top of the structure, so that participants, with the assistance of ropes, climb up to the top as if they are scaling a real mountain.
