Looks fun, huh? Our Hidden Falls practice area offers several options for rappelling. We start with a very easy low angle practice rap and can progress to an overhanging “free air” fun ride. The climber pictured has control of the rap rope and the guide has control of the back up rope. Rappelling instruction is included in all of our schools. In our private climbing schools – how many and how “airy” is up to you.
