If what you want is to enjoy a Sunday in the middle of the nature we recommend that you visit a Adventure forest . Because? It is certainly an experience in which you can see the forest from the top sliding from one corner to another of it.
Ah, the Tirolinas You can also find them in the mountains, forming part of a ferrata or a ravine, fundamental to cross certain points that would otherwise be impossible.
But do you know what the necessary techniques are? You will have to know if you are going to face a situation where you need to cross it or if at any given time you have to manufacture your own pull ... Here are some tips:

We will need a progression cable with insurance in turn; It fulfills two functions:
- Allows us to slide
- It allows us to ensure
The rope must be static, at least 12mm and can support 4,000 kg of weight. It is important to tighten the rope, for which devices such as the grigri or, where appropriate, a descending-blocker (Stop) must be used.
IMPORTANT: Special attention must be paid to retending in successive times the pulloline, as it can produce wear in the rope, which will lead to its uselessness.
types ofTirolinas
- descending pull. The last one will be the one to stop the rest of people with a rope that joins their harness with the one from which it descends. The rope will go through a carabiner that is placed at the beginning of the zip line in one of the anchors.
- ascending pull. To travel it you have to go with the body horizontally, carrying your head forward and feet back. The legs must go as horizontal as possible and, if you can, carry the ankles above the cable.
Prepared for action?
