Rappelling

...

Rappelling is an organized climbing process used to descend from mountains and cliffs by a monitored slide downwards with the help of a fixed rope. When you want to descent there are normally two options, you can walk or climb down or you can rappel. When the terrain is too difficult rappelling is the more logical solution. The climbing rope is anchored to a cliff with artificial anchors like cams, pitons and bolts or natural anchors like trees and boulders. It is seen that the rope is wither doubled with the midpoint at the anchors or tied to another climbing rope. The climber then uses a rappel device which utilizes the friction of the rope through to minimize the climbing down as the slides down the fixed rope to a ledge or the cliff-base is performed. Jim Corbett Park provides a perfect opportunity to experience this unique activity. Let go of your inhibitions and climb a cliff to climb down like a free bird. Feel the lightness of yourself, be a motivated person.
