They were anywhere from 3 to 15 meters above the ground, and the only way to reach the next platform was by navigating a physical challenge. There were tight ropes, swings, ziplines, and swinging stepping stones, each designed to test your strength, balance, flexibility, or sometimes, just pure guts. Read more.
