This 4 hour course is designed for beginners looking for a unique experience in New England. We will meet at the Crow Hill Ledges Trailhead in Princeton, MA or Chesterfield Gorge State Park in Chesterfield,NH (dependent on our location that day) at our scheduled time (9am or 1:30pm) where we will fill out our waivers and get geared up for our adventure. We will then have a 10 minute easy hike until we reach the ledges. We will go over our gear, how to rappel, and cover a safety briefing. We will each get a few chances to rappel face first down the ledges (aussie style), with the security of a full body harness and a second rope controlled by a guide. After our aussie adventure, we will then hike back to the trailhead where we say our goodbyes.
