Georgetown Challenge Course

I like adrenaline. Not the hair-​raising adrenaline of pure fear and loose bowels, like when I find one of those giant cockroaches in my house, but fun, exciting, and safe adrenaline. Since I’m also afraid of heights, ropes courses are a good way to get a dose of this.
The Georgetown Challenge Course is designed for team-​building exercises, so you can’t just go by yourself and have fun, unfortunately. But it’s a great place to go for corporate, club or team events.
I went in February with about 15 people from Hill Country Outdoors, an outdoors, sports and social club. We started the morning doing some silly but surprisingly fun games on the ground. Then, we got to the good stuff.
There’s a large number of activities that you can do here, from climbing up a pole to crossing high wires or logs… there’s actually more than you can do in a day (you talk over the activities when you book, but can change them during the day). All are safe, as you are belayed, but also scary, since they’re up high.
I think I had fun, as I’d go back, but whenever I do these things I’m always asking myself why I thought it was a good idea, it’s never fun until it’s over.
The downside to this place is that you are actively belayed, it’s not like the Cypress Canopy challenge course where you’re always hooked in and can do stuff yourself. That’s also a plus if you’re actually doing a team-​building exercise, of course.
None of the activities require you to be in super shape… if you can climb a ladder, you can do pretty much anything here. Though you may not really want to ;)
If you’re looking for something different to do, get a group together and try this place!
