overview

During our rappel clinic at NCOA, we will teach you how to set yourself up on rappel, proper body positioning, and proper rappelling techniques. You will get to rappel 40 – 120-foot cliffs, high above the Linville Gorge in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. Our rappels feature unique chimneys and rappelling into a small cave for those feeling more adventurous!
If you’re feeling a little nervous, don’t be, our professional guides will coach you through the toughest moments with easy-to-follow instruction as well as a controlled safety line, ensuring a slow and smooth descent.
For more experienced guests, we also offer specific programs for climbing-oriented rappelling education, from setting up rappelling anchors to rescuing yourself when your rope is too short or damaged.
