Yesterday we got to go to this park called "Orczy Kalandpark." It was pretty cool. If you have ever been to Clear Creek and done the ropes course you know a little what this was like, they had kind of obstacle courses that you had to do - 20 feet in the air. It was really fun, but a little scary sometimes. We were always attached to a steel cable, so there was never any real chance of injury. There were some that were climbing, and some were zip-lines. Some of the zip-lines went up to around 50 yards I think. Some of the climbing parts, the obstacles, were really tough, and we all agreed that the hardest one was this one:
It was wooden poles, around 7 feet long, with little places to stand on the bottom of them. They were only attached at the top, and were around 3 feet away from each other.

All of us at the end.

It was a super cool place to visit. Nothing like this would ever be allowed in the US, so we need to do this kind of stuff while we can. :)
I have never been on a ropes course, but I have heard that they are used as confidence builders for some people, and to help with other pyscological problems people sometimes have. I know where a "ropes" course is (or used to be) in Provo. I've heard that BYU has one at Aspen Grove. You mentioned one at Clear Creek. Are they different than the one you went on (maybe that one was larger)? I really love your comments--and the pictures make it easy to see what you are saying.

At Clear Creek they are lower, and pretty easy, relatively, but yea, it's the same idea.
