Weekend Getaway – Skytrex Adventure

8 Mar

Weekend 1: Wag your dog

Weekend 2: Clean your closet,

Weekend 3: Get a jump on your reading list

Weekend 4: What else to do?

I’ve an idea, I’ll show you the ropes challenge.

Located at the serene Botanical Garden in Shah Alam, Julien, the French monkey..ehem, Park Ranger build this high rope course together with a few helping hands.

Monkey see, monkey do, (and swing along the trees). There are 5 monkeys (including me) and 1 videographer in the clip.

On average, the Big Thrill will take about 1 hour to complete but if often the whole activity will take about 3 hours because people get jammed in the midst of completing the task for example Mini Tarzan swing causes main blockage because it requires more strength and the correct skill. Most of the time you’ll find yourself admiring the green forest while waiting for the task.

If possible, book the earliest schedule to if you value time.

There are lockers and recycle gloves provided. So, make sure you wear sports shoes and proper trekking attire. If you prefer new gloves, it is available for sale at RM5. You can also rent bottle strap to carry your drink while trekking up high in the sky.

All other gears are provided (harness, pulley, karabiner) and strictly no outside gears are allowed.

All Skytrekers has to go through simple elaborated training at 3-4 meters high on how to use ropes course gears before proceeding to the Big Thrill or Extreme Challenge. No worries, even I did it twice. It shouldn’t be a problem for anyone else except those who are physically challenged/ medically unfit.
