Rappel Tower Finished!

News from Buxton:

We just finished the rappel tower today! The rappel tower is at the center of our new high ropes course. As you can see in the pictures the tower has two platforms on it. The lower platform is 25 feet tall and will provide access to the high ropes course. The upper platform is 40 feet tall and will provide an awesome rappelling opportunity if our normal rappel site unusable due to weather. This also provides us the ability to offer rappelling year round without needing forest service permits. Praise God for this new addition.



Here I am rappelling down the first time.


Getting ready to over the edge for the first time. Going over that edge really gets your heart going. Awesome!!






Here is a good view of the platforms from the ground.

We will continue to work on the rest of the high ropes course and will update you as we make progress.
