New Mexico Resource:"Learn To" Rappel Adventures

"Learn To" Rappel Adventures

Posted: March 26, 2007

"LEARN TO" RAPPEL ADVENTURES

What: Come learn a fun, really cool and risky high adventure sport that you can enjoy your whole life. Learn the Xtreme sport of rappelling, where you will lower yourself down a cliff face using only a rope, harness and hardware, and your own strength and skill. Once you've mastered the 20 foot beginner cliff, get your adrenaline pumping on the 90 foot intermediate cliff! Don't forget to breathe! Experienced Outdoor Recreation Adventure Leaders will emphasize safety, as well as proper technique. Each guest needs to wear sturdy shoes (hiking or good fitting tennis shoes), and clothes that you can move in. Guests also need to bring water, lunch, snacks, sunscreen and a hat. Dress for the weather.

Who: There are twelve spaces for youth ages 11-17.

Prerequisite: Must be able to hike one mile.

Cost: The cost is $10 per guest.

When: Monday, June 11, 2007, 8:00am – 4:00pm
Or: Friday, June 15, 2007, 8:00am – 4:00pm

Where: White Wash, part of the Piedra Lisa Open Space, in the Sandia foothills. Rappelling trips meet at the Parks and Recreation Administration Building at 1801 4th Street NW, Building A, and then guests are transported in a City vehicle to the rappelling area. Please be here between 7:45am and 8:00am, so we can leave on time.

How: Pre-registration is required. Space is filled on a "first come/first served" basis, so call quickly. More information and registration forms are available by several methods.
