A Jacob's ladder rope course is a team climbing exercise using a structure of eight logs suspended above one another by ropes. The logs are spaced progressively farther apart with the highest log 60 feet above the ground, so that as the team climbs the structure, each log is more difficult to climb that the last. The 'ladder' of logs tends to swing, and team members are not permitted to touch the side wires. The 'belay' or safety rope of each climber is held by one of their team mates on the ground so the exercise calls for coordination, attention on the people on the ladder, and excellent communication. The course is also designed to build rapport and trust between team members.
