What to expect

Race side-by-side to the top of our Gladiator Tower, conquering obstacles that test your courage, balance, and determination. After a quick safety briefing and gear-up with helmets and harnesses, your instructor will run through the rules and climbing tips - then it’s game on. Who will reach the summit first?

Tailored Challenge Options

Instructor-ControlledEach participant climbs while the instructor manages the rope, similar to other roped activities.
Group “Bell-Ringing” Peer RelayThe most popular format! The group is split in half and lines up in front of the Gladiator wall. One climber is tied in, and the rest of the group controls the rope together. The front person acts as the “bell ringer”, pulling the rope down as the climber ascends, while the rest of the team pulls the slack tight behind them.

This flexible approach ensures the climber’s safety while keeping everyone involved and engaged. The instructor always maintains full oversight and ultimate rope control, taking over completely for lowering the climber.
