Thank you so much for posting this! It is super helpful… Just about to do the Circuito in a few days and have two questions: 1- How physically demanding is it? We are definitely reasonably fit but I am a small lady and cannot do a pull up/ chin up lol. 2- The rope attached to the pully, I assume that is yours and your friend held it so that she could pull back the pully on the other side. What if you get to the crossing and the pully is not there (on the other side or somewhere dangling in the middle)? Thanks again!!!!
Heya! thanks for your comment. I think its quite demanding at points, but if you are relatively active you should be able to do it without problems - I am also not able to do a pull up and I managed just fine. The rope on the pulley was there already, but sometimes its not, so its best you bring your own rope as well if you ll be sharing the harness especially. If the pulley is not within reach, one of you will have to cross without the pulley, but attaching yourself directly to the wire with the carabiner. But there will be other people doing the crossing so I think you ll be fine. Enjoy, it was my favorite circuit so far!
@@onceastranger I'm doing the trail in about a week and a half with my wife. We are not planning on sharing equipment, do you think we need to bring the 30 metre rope along with us?
1- You won't be doing any pull ups (the tyrolean requires almost no upper body strength at all) but you'd be walking arround 6 hours a day for four days carrying a backpack with a tent and food for those four days, and some of it is steep terrain. I've seen people that didn't look very fit at all struggling on the steepest parts, but they made it anyway. 2- You are supposed to bring your own rope (35 meters of 3 mm nylon cordage is good enough) to retrieve the pulley and harness if there's more than one person crossing, and there's a sign asking not to leave the rope behind. If you get there and the pulley's on the other side of the river, you'd have to clip your harness directly to the wire using the steel carabiner and use that to cross and retrieve the pulley. But it's designed to fall back to the right side of the river if there's no weight dragging it down, so ussually you won't find this scenario.
EXCELENNNTEEEEEEE!!!🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Amazing video. So helpful. Will they allow you on the trail if you have 1 harness between 2 people?
Hey! They didnt check or ask us anything about the harness 🙂 we were two, sharing one.
