Zip Line

2009

During the 2009 edition, we installed a temporary zip line of a total length of 565 meters. The measured height difference was approximately 75 meters. All of the participants enjoyed the rapid and steep descent.

Below you will find two 'amateur' videos showing it. Click on the links and go!

2010

For the 5^th GrimpDay edition, we’ve decided add an exceptional feature. Our project is to propose a zip line cable of greater length. Less word, more picture … here's the picture for those who’ll dare!

An application for the recognition as the ‘Longest temporary zip line ever installed has been submitted to the Guinness Book’.
