From May to September, the Equinox Rox Outdoor Climbing Tower offers a challenge to both novice and advanced climbers. The tower is 32' high (10 metres) and can be scaled by six different routes. One side of the tower tilts inward to give new climbers a break while the other has an overhang for those looking for a challenge!

At the top of the tower, there is a 14' x 14' deck - perfect for rappelling, taking panoramic photographs of the stunningly beautiful Takhini River valley and watching sunsets.

From the deck you can launch yourself down the 300 metre (1,000 foot) zipline, which is a steel cable stretching from the deck across the pond. You wear a helmet and safety harness that hooks onto a pulley on the cable. It’s possible to reach speeds of 50-60 kph as you zip through the air. The ‘flight’ takes you over the trees and across the pond to a landing pad. Thrilling! Awesome! Amazing! are common adjectives we hear from “Zippers.”

All equipment is provided. The safety system includes harness, helmet, rope, and belay post. Basic instruction is given to all climbers and staff provide climbing assistance if necessary. Staff supervise the tower and zipline at all times. There is a high staff-to-climber ratio for maximum safety.
