Rappelling
Went rappelling at Dundee Falls today.
For a change of pace, and to gather info, attending the Cavers & Climbers meeting was in order. After the meeting, a member invited me to practice descents/ascents from a 40' cliff, so we met the Cleveland Grotto members to work on these crucial skills. Some of them were learning and others were practicing for upcoming events such as Bridge Day in Fayetteville, West Virginia. This annual event is held on the third Saturday in October at the New River Gorge Bridge. This is the only time of the year when such adventure is allowed. BASE jumpers are also involved but not all who would rapel are permitted; see website: www.bridgeday.info. Should be fun; it is too late for yours truly to register.
