The course utilizes a continuous belay system that physically prevents users from unhooking from the safety line until they have completed the circuit.
The location is situated within a Coillte-managed forest, which is part of the Dublin Mountains Way trail network.
Tibradden Wood was once a popular site for 19th-century hill walkers, featuring a documented cairn and kistvaen tomb near the mountain summit.
The aerial platforms are designed to avoid damaging the trees by using non-invasive mounting techniques that allow for natural growth.
Zipit Forest Adventures is a high-ropes obstacle course located within the Tibradden Wood forestry plantation in the Dublin Mountains. The facility features a series of tree-to-tree circuits consisting of zip lines, cargo nets, rope bridges, and swinging logs. Courses are color-coded by difficulty and height, ranging from low-level challenges for younger children to demanding aerial routes for adults. Participants are secured by a continuous belay system throughout the duration of the courses. The site is situated at an elevation of approximately 300 meters above sea level, providing views over Dublin Bay. It functions as a self-guided outdoor recreation experience rather than a guided tour. The infrastructure is integrated into the living forest ecosystem, utilizing existing trees as anchor points for the platforms.
