What do you do with half a mile of cable, a few trees and an entrepreneurial spirit? You build what’s called a zipline on the side of Purgatory Mountain outside Asheboro, NC.
Years ago, Buddy Hammer marveled as he watched on National Geographic as scientists used ziplines to study the Amazon Rainforest. That was almost twenty years ago.
Buddy waited for retirement and for his children to graduate college. With plenty of free time, he decided to give that little pet project of his a try. Thus was born
