Rappelling

Post by **ewaaser** » Mon Dec 06, 2004 11:10 pm

Anybody know of some good rappelling sites in the Red? Looking for 100-200 ft verticals with a way to get back to the top without technical climbing.

i'm pretty sure torrent falls has some rappell sites and there's a trail to the top.

if you read the sign at torrent it states that rappellers are not welcome...it also says the same about dogs. just an FYI

There was talk about it. Is that official?

It was my understanding it was baned about three or four years ago - about the same time the rrgcc signed the first MOU with the FS. I don't know if it was carried out though.

Be nice. I was looking for the same thing when I discovered the Red. I evolved.
After a few rappells they get tired of the 40 minute hike back up for a 30 second ride.
