The Experience
Before You Go
Secure footwear
Wear closed-toe athletic shoes with good grip; platform transitions involve short uphill walks on uneven and sometimes muddy trails.
Morning booking
Book morning departures to avoid midday heat and get clearer views; early runs tend to have smaller groups and quicker transfers.
Hydration and light snacks
Bring at least 1 liter of water and a light snack—sweat and exertion on cables add up, and onsite refreshments are basic.
Protect your phone
If you want photos, tether your phone or use a small action camera; loose items are not permitted on runs.
