Rappelling Photos

Their first words of advice were:  Don’t look down until you are over the edge!  Good words of wisdom – our first rappel was 165 feet with a waterfall to the right.  If you look closely, you’ll see the line to the left and one of the experts standing at the bottom.  It was so long so we could practice pushing off with our legs and releasing the rope.
