Hey Mates, we at Trek Mates India, are arranging a Waterfall Rappelling session at Vihigaon nr Kasara, on 17th and 18th of July 2010 (Two different batches each day.).
Details for the event:
Location : Kasara.
Height : Approx 120 feetGrade : Medium.
Rappelling also known as abseiling is a method of a quick and safe descend after a climb. It’s an act of descending a mountain face by sliding down a rope, which is attached to a body harness and fastened to an overhead projection, with sufficient friction provided as to make the speed of descent controllable.The only difference here is we will be rappelling down through a flowing waterfall, pouring water on us as we come down.
It’s the best exercise to overcome the fear of height. Feel the thrill of suspension at the height of about 100 feet’s. Come experience the incredible feeling of success and accomplishment when you touch the ground.
