Somewhat frustrating. Without waffling on, the safety 'sled' on the rope has no pulley or 'wheels' (like Go-Ape), so the rope gets frequently stuck on the metal cable due to friction when being pulled on or when cable kinks etc. You hence get 'pulled back' mid obstacle, taking the fun away. Quite a lot of strength and reaching up is required when the sled catches, making for a tiring and frustrating experience for younger and shorter participants.
