After decommisioning the old Jacob's Ladder and having prepared an area for a new improved version to be created we set about working on a plan to construct the new activity.
The plan is to have the ladder constructed between two large trees and suspended above a huge hole, maximising the length and exposure. The usual set-up has the first pole at waist height and easily accessible but our Jacob's will now sport a rope ladder coming out of the hole. This will have to be climbed to access the first pole giving a new dimension to the activity.
Tree's had to be climbed and high belay points set-up so that we could trim the branches with the safety of a top-rope. A wire was then strung between the two trees, this would be used for winching the ladder up to it's high point.
