Next, it is time for equipment issue & inspection for the event; we'll hike to the cliff & get started. We'll complete a quick little knot tying class, swiss seat class, & an easy tree line rappel demo to ensure the how and why it's a safe adventure. The FALLING ROCK ACTIONS/DRILL & belay training duties are serious**. We'll use voice commands & belay safety duties for real.
