Columbia zoo opens ropes challenge course

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Want to get a giraffe’s eye view of the trees above?

The Riverbanks Zoo and Gardens is opening a ropes challenge course in Columbia on Monday.

The Sky-High Safari is a three-story ropes course where climbers can navigate 30 obstacles including rope ladders, bridges and nets.

Zoo officials say the course is a good team-building exercise for groups. All climbers wear a full-body harness and are hooked to an overhand tracking system.

The course is open daily.
