Apex guide, Bob Pettit, took out the Odette family for a rappelling trip!!
-
The boys, age 8 and 11, were a bit unsure at first, but by the end of the trip everyone was bounding down the wall!
-
Rappelling is a great way to instill confidence in kids and adults alike. When rappelling we use friction to descend the rope from cliff top to the base. We control the speed at which we descend the rope and learn about body position and control while descending to the ground, all the while backed up by a guide security system.
-
If you want to take your family out for a rappelling trip, check out our website or reach out to us for more info.
