Rappelling (English
Name) also known as abseiling (German Name) 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.
