English term

Tyrolean traverse

English to Dutch Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation Adventure Park
Move from tree to tree using the different hanging bridges, Tyrolean traverses, gangways, beams and vines.

I found this on Wikipedia:
Tyrolean traverse is a mountaineering maneuver that involves lassoing a pinnacle and traversing to the top and back. It has been used in some first ascents. The ropes can be crossed either by getting on top of the two ropes and pushing them apart with hands and feet, or by hanging below the ropes and hooking a leg over the top. It often makes for spectacular pictures and stunts. Modern climbers usually use a harness and a carabiner or a pulley, to make it easier and safer. Tyrolean is often used as a misnomer when referring to a "highline," a rope stretched between two high points. It is often used as a retreat method from isolated pinnacles.

neutral sindy cremer : Daar heb je gelijk in, ik baseerde mijn antwoord op het gebruikvan de uitdrukking op de twee genoemde sites; de exacte combi "tiroolse traverse levert overigens geen hits op op Google.
