How to rappel
It made me
Thrilled!
 "Incredible. What a thrill!""
How I did it: I took the Climbing and Rappeling class at 4-H Exploration Days at MSU in 2008. It was 3 days long. 1st day taught me how to tie the ropes, the 2nd was on how to climb, and on the 3rd, I repeled off of a 5-story parking garage at Michigan State University. Lessons & tips: Don't be afraid. Resources: Thick gloves, good shoes. |

How I did it: 2/2/09 I always try to do "something I will remember" for my birthday. This year I selected rappelling from my bucket list. It was a 3 hour drive from my home to the Moaning Caverns in Murphys, CA. We all watched a short video (3 minutes) that gave you the dos & don'ts of rappelling, followed by a 2 minute lesson. That's it! The instructor hooked us into our harnesses and led us to the rope into the cave. The first… Read how I did it…
HI,
I have some minimal experience with rappelling and would like to become proficient. My fiance works with me on weekends and holidays, on occasion, as he’s an expert.
I would like to find a club or individual who provides such lessons in the northwest metro Atlanta area, not too far from Kennesaw or Cartersville.
Thanks,
Susan
As a fire fighter in a large urban centre, we had to learn rapelling. It’s great fun rapelling from a bridge 140 ft. above a river. It’s neat to tie yourself off half way down, trust your knots and belayer and let go and just hang for a few minutes. Definitely a blast.

and I loved it! Rappeling was fun and easier than what I imagined it would be. Went to Matacanes Canyon in Monterrey, Mexico. The place is peaceful and beautiful. The entire experience involves hiking, walking, jumping off cliffs into lakes and lagoons, swimming, clibing and rappeling for eight hours. It was a shot of adrenaline and youth directly to the bloodstream!

I am actually beginning to seriously plan this goal, after much talking about it. Will go to Matacanes (near Monterrey, Mexico) sometime in March or April, with my cousin who has done this before. Will spend a weekend camping, hiking, rappelling, swimming…NO internet, NO phones, NO TV! Aaaaahhh…definitely something to look forward to!
My first time ever repelling (as opposed to just climbing) was at an army FTX weekend. Keep in mind that I am NOT in the army, but I was in a class that required it. I have a total fear of heights, and I cried for 45 minutes before actually going up. There I was, surrounded by army boys, crying about repelling down a 40 ft wall. Priceless. But I did it, and it is honestly one of the things I
am most proud of in my life.
Rappelling is overrated and it’s over fast and the setup isn’t nearly as worth it as climbing.
