Originally conceived as a course to be negotiated by a team of four, the tower can be used by individuals as well as groups. Its availability and ease of installation make it accessible to a wide range of populations, from corporate programs and adventure-based institutions to camps, treatment centers, schools, churches, outdoor equipment stores, prisons, hospitals and other residential facilities. Its impact on the local environment is minimal, and it is virtually maintenance-free. Life expectancy of the foundation poles is over twenty years. The Alpine Tower experience is a powerful one due to the height of the structure, yet it requires little upper body strength to master, making it ideal for younger and older populations.
Some routes are almost as easy as climbing a ladder.
The design includes spectacular climbing routes as well as ropes course experiences. The tower experience provides three fairly distinct opportunities. The tower can be used for individuals and presents the same challenges as rock climbing and high ropes course elements. And finally, the tower provides an intense partnering experience which dramatically highlights the above objectives of teamwork, cooperation, trust, communication, adventure, and probably, most important of all, compassion. The project offers adult and corporate groups a chance to bump heads with old fears and put on new thinking caps.
