Set on the activity grounds at Tagoat in County Wexford, Crate Stacking is a short, high‑adrenaline ropes‑course challenge in which climbers add crates beneath their feet and climb ever higher while secured to a safety rope system. The exercise is compact—just an hour—but built to expose balance, communication and coordination under pressure.

THE CHALLENGE

A unique climbing test of balance

Participants stack crates one by one and climb the growing tower, a singular exercise in balance and coordination that rewards steadiness and calm under height.

THE TEAM

Rely on teammates on the ground

Success depends as much on those on the ground as on the climber: teammates steady the process, hand up crates and communicate to keep the tower from toppling.

THE SUPERVISION

Instructor‑led, safety‑focused session

The activity is run under instructor supervision, with safety procedures in place to make the brief but intense challenge manageable for participants.
