“I can’t applaud this company enough. The check-in process was simple, our guides were fantastic, and the experience was memorable. You definitely get your money’s worth.

How good of physical shape do I need to be in?
Ziplining is actually really easy and doesn’t require any special strength. Most people have no problems participating; we have 7 year olds to 90 year olds. We do recommend being able to stand for 2.5 hours, able to lift your knees to your waist, and able walk up a couple flights of stairs. See Requirements above for more information.

Do I have to make a reservation?
Yes. Reservations are very strongly encouraged. We will do our best to accommodate walk-ins but there is no guarantee there will be openings. During busy seasons it is recommended to make a reservation at least 5 days in advance to ensure you reserve your preferred time. We are closed on Sundays.

How do I make a reservation?
You can book online or call us at 865-325-8116.

Do you have bathrooms at your facility?
Yes. There are bathrooms at our check-in area; however, there are no bathrooms on the tour.

Do you have lockers at your facility?
Yes. We have small lockers to hold your keys and small items. Everything else must be left in the car. If you choose to take your phone and keys with you on the tour, items must be secured. We are not responsible for lost items.

Do you operate in the rain?
Yes. We operate rain or shine. The Smoky Mountain eco-system comes alive during rainfall and is an exciting place. Ponchos are available upon request. We do not, however, operate in thunderstorms or extremely high winds.

What happens if severe weather occurs on tour?
Although we cannot predict what the weather will do, our staff is trained to make decisions as to when to continue and when to reschedule. Each platform has a way to get each participant safely off of the tour and onto the ground where we can take you back to the main office. Depending on how far you made it through the course, we can reschedule or partially refund you.

What is your weather policy?
Remember our zipline tours will operate rain or shine. All cancellations due to weather will be the decision of the CLIMB Works staff, and are generally caused by thunderstorms, heavy rains, or high winds. If this happens we will do our best to contact you before and reschedule or provide a voucher for another time. If you are unable to attend another time a full refund will be given.

Can I bring a camera?
Yes as long as it is secured with a strap. We do not allow unsecured items that can fall out while ziplining. This is for the safety of those working or traveling under our zip lines and platforms. CLIMB Works also takes professional photos of each participant and group from carefully chosen places that capture the most scenic parts of the tour. These photos are viewable and available for purchase directly after the tour.

Will I be hooking myself up to the zipline?
No. Our expert staff will be taking care of you from start to finish.

Will I be required to brake or stop myself on the zipline?
No. You will NOT be required to “hand brake” or drag yourself over spans on cable. Our carefully designed course, innovative brake, and expert staff will take care of you from start to finish. You just have to worry about having a great time.

What’s the weight/height limit?
Height limit: 6′ 8″
Weight limit: 270 lbs (5′ 10″ and over); 250 lbs (under 5′ 10″)
We strongly discourage from participating anyone that has recurring injuries, recent surgeries, or difficulty lifting your legs to your waist.

Is there a lot of walking?
No. All walking is done on a decked, even surface on either a bridge or a staircase. There is no hiking in the woods on uneven terrain.

What do I wear?
Dress appropriately for weather. Comfortable clothes are recommended while short shorts, loose jewelry, and baggy clothes are not recommended. Rain can come and go very quickly so we recommend wearing clothes that you don’t mind getting a little wet.

Do I tip my guide?
Tips are not expected but greatly appreciated. If you do decide to tip your guides, there is no expected amount.

Can I wear sunglasses?
Yes. Just make sure they don’t fall off your face if you look down. We are not responsible for lost items.

Can I bring a backpack?
We do not allow backpacks unless for medication. Water stations will be available to you throughout the tour.

My child is at least 7 years old but weighs under 70 lbs. Can they still go?
If you are under 70 lbs and at least 7 years old, you can still participate but you may be required to ride tandem with a guide or another lightweight sibling. Please inform us of any lighter participants in your party upon making the reservation so we can make arrangements.
