Right before #rappelling down highest building in #Victoria to raise funds for #BCChildrensHospital.
From a few years ago. I was event photographer & was asked to substitute for someone who chickened out. I had 15 minutes of training on the street & was going down the high rise, 20 minutes after starting quickie training 😆

Me, wearing a light gray climbing helmet, harness, and gloves, ready for a high-ropes adventure. The image is taken in front of a glass wall with an advertisement in the background.

People seemed interested in Bridge Day, so here is a photo of that event! Looking up from the bottom as a rappeller comes in on our rope, we can still see about a dozen other ropes in view. Some have dots of other folk, some are empty, but all have varying levels of wind belay / wind load. When you have an almost-900 foot long rope in free space in the middle of a gorge, it takes skill to manouver from the top to the bottom and remain in control not only because the rope weight changes but also because the wind load is constantly changing as well. This is why we use long frame rappel racks, so we can constantly and effortlessly vary the friction to adjust for these ever changing variables to remain in control of our speed of descent.

Yeah it's not my best photo, I probably should've focused on the person not the bridge haha, but its a good one that shows the scene.

Vertical panorama showing the underside of a steel arch bridge. Trees outline the blue sky. On the middle left is a figure in bright yellow shirt rappelling on a very long rope that is obviously attached to the bottom of the bridge. About a dozen other streaks of white show the other ropes hanging, some with little dots aka people in view.

"...A California Highway Patrol helicopter was called in to help rescue Wardell from behind the powerful waterfall, using a hoist system where they lowered a rescue team member into the water feature to secure Wardell and extract him to safety.

Wardell, alive and responsive, told deputies he had come off his rappel lines and got trapped behind the waterfall because of the extreme hydraulics of the river...."

Canyoning (rappelling or abseiling) down four waterfalls was one of the high points of our trip.

The crew at Pure Trek were super friendly and wonderful and made sure we had a great and safe experience. And a tasty lunch afterwards.

the view is from the top looking straight down a deep waterfall. two people are on ropes half-way down, wearing safety gear, rappelling down to the bottom, where a guide awaits them. the misty spraying waterfall is on the left, lush green leaves are on the right.

From an unlabeled personal #ViewMaster reel, most likely taken by someone who worked at the View-Master factory in the 1950s. This reel has a lot of #MountainClimbing images. That's Mt. Hood, Oregon in the background.

Stereoscopic, side-by-side images. A man is rappelling down a perfectly vertical rock face. We see very little of the rock along the right side of the image. Behind the man is Mt. Hood, Oregon, and a deep blue, cloudless sky.

My bad knee is the reason I'm doing more kayaking and less hiking. But today I tried wrapping my knee and managed to get in 9 miles with NO PAIN.
Through cobble badlands, rappelling down slippery slopes, through open fields, and, trust me, bushwhacking through deep brush and wild dense forest where you can't take pictures.

I missed this so much!

#hiking #rappelling

Green grass and trees and a showy big puffy patch of white pampas grass

Piles of cobble stretching off into the distance. There are oaks in the distance past the cobble.

Dyneema rappell line going up a slope covered in dry, slippery dead grass. The line is anchored to a metal fence post at the top of the slope.

A pond! It looks like a meadow with bushes and low plants on flat ground, but all that brown and green are just plants growing on top of the water.

It’s been a year since I went to Costa Rica. It feels like so much longer. Time isn’t moving the way I’m used to, anymore. It’s going so quickly. #WaterfallRappelling #rappelling #waterfall #CostaRica

Person rappelling down a rocky waterfall surrounded by lush greenery.

Okay, haven't been out on the rocks I'm awhile, but at least the gear is hung up again. #rappelling #climbing

Rock climbing gear hung on a rack multiple rainbow of colors of various webbing, different sizes for anchoring. Two helmets. Carabiner, and much more on a wall. The rack is wood with two hooks, so far, screwed into the wall.

A person rappelling from the top of a mountain

I went waterfall rappelling in Là Fortuna. Believe it or not, I found it very relaxing. The biggest jump was 65 meters. Now I want to start rock climbing again when I get home. #Belaying #Rappelling #Waterfall #WaterfallRappelling #PuraVida #CostaRica

I’m wearing a helmet, leather gloves, and a tshirt with a picture of a sloth in a bicycle. I’m in a rappelling harness and have a peaceful smile.

I have a happy smile on and a helmet. I am being prepped for rappelling off a high jump point in the jungle.

Pucture from above of me rappelling down a waterfall. I am being blasted by water in a narrow ravine.

Picture from very far above at the top of a waterfall. Off in the distance, I am leaping to the bottom. Jungle is all around.

Home for the long weekend. The Runabout is parked at City of Rocks State Park, New Mexico. Rock climbing and rappelling on the menu.
