The Most Dangerous Playground I've Ever Built
What happens here
The creator marks drill points every foot along the side posts for the climbing ropes. He then drills 3/8-inch holes and feeds a durable white rope through in a zigzag pattern, securing each end with a knot. He suggests that a needle and thread solution might be more efficient for threading the rope, as he experienced some difficulty. He also mentions the rope is rated for 295 lbs.
Goal: Create a climbing rope net section on one side of the pyramid.
