AbseilingMe™ March 2010 | Issue 009 |
|
:: Kiddo Rappelling ::
Spiderman at the age of two  Felix, our 2-year old mascot tried himself in abseiling down the regular AbseilingMe™ training site last Saturday. Not entirely convinced though without a tear in his eyes, Felix mastered the 5-meter wall in daddy's arms followed by a solo ascent back to safety.
After this adventure, the older boys and a young lady were crossing the famous Fox canyon on a single guideline, controlled by an additional rappelling line to manage speed. For all three this was the first time ever to master an abseil from a height of 20 meters down to a bridge. It was without a doubt the most spectacular rappelling for AbseilingMe™ so far. Less spectacular scenes can be found here.
