Tyrolean traverse  is method of crossing through free space between two high points on a rope without a hanging cart or cart equivalent. This is used in a range of mountaineering activities: rock climbing, and water crossings. A zip-line is in essence traveling down a Tyrolean traverse quickly with the assistance of gravity. There are many ways to anchor the line at the two high points but the significant feature is that there is a line strung between them.Traveling across a Tyrolean traverse varies from purely using ones hands and legs to the use of technical devices. In most modern situations the traverse is secured to the line through some combination of climbing harness, webbing, carabiner, and/or pulleys
