We operate on pristine private property showcasing our amazing cliffs and rock features.** We’re also the only company in the region using state-of-the-art Petzl stainless steel anchoring systems. No trees are damaged and you can rappel in confidence knowing our steel anchors could hold the weight of a large van going over the cliff.
