Calico Caves Wall: a multi-pitch rappelling route

Join me for a superb multi-pitch rappelling route established by Richard Natale. This outing is especially appropriate for rappellers with SOLID beginner to intermediate skills, but anyone with greater skill level will surely appreciate this route.

Stats: ascent 1120' to near top of Calico I Peak, Class 3, about 2.6 mile roundtrip; 5 long but very straightforward raps up to 190 feet.

Requirements: good BASIC skills in rappelling and rock scrambling; harness; modern, adjustable-friction rappelling device (eg. Crittr or similar); I don't consider an ATC appropriate for these rappels. Self-protection sling, helmet, 1-2 locking biners, sturdy leather gloves, and pack large enough to hold some group gear including a 200' rope. I'll supply the ropes.

LIMITED TO 8. Everyone goes on the waitlist first.

No guests, pets, children.
