Event Details
READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION & INSTRUCTIONS.
On Sunday, Oct 17, twenty JOCers will be led by Alpine Endeavors to rappel off the highest two-tiered waterfall in NY State - 260 foot Kaaterskill Falls in the Catskills. AS A BONUS, WE WILL ALSO HAVE A TYROLEAN ACROSS THE WATERFALL. As a bonus, fall foliage should be beginning
The day's adventure begins with a 20 min. workshop on rappelling. We'll learn about the equipment (harnesses, ATC device, carabineers, etc..), we'll learn some knots (water knots, figure 8's), and we'll go through how to rappel. The session is designed to give you a good introduction to rappelling, as opposed to just doing it.
Then, we'll rappel on one of several lines set up for us, some coming right next to the falls (you will get wet on this ride!)
You will have the chance to do the various rappels several times over the course of the day, experimenting with different techniques.
Additionally, we will be trained on the use of ascenders. This is a rope grabbing mechanism that one can use to ascend ropes. We will have the chance to practice our ascender skills on a rope set up for us, so we don't have to hike back up (though I must warn that using the ascenders is far more challenging! )
Sound amazing? See below for all the FAQ, and to learn how to sign up.
Where are we going?
The location of the event is Kaaterskill Creek and Falls in the Catskills, about 2 1/2 hours from NYC.
We will leave at 8:00 am, to get there before 10:30AM. The day will end at around 4 pm.
EVENTBRITE MAP IS WRONG! COPY/PASTE Kaaterskill Falls, New York 12463 @42.195680,-74.062970 INTO GOOGLE MAPS AND YOU WILL GET THERE.
How will we get there?
We will be carpooling. As such, priority will be given to drivers.
What does it cost?
These things aren't cheap, but I've managed to get us a group rate at $120. Well worth it for this once in a lifetime experience, and the things you'll learn.
**I do need to warn however, that if the trip does not fill up (14 people min), the rate might go up slightly. THE LAST TIME WE RAN THIS TRIP, IT FILLED UP AT 16 PEOPLE WITH A WAIT LIST.
What is included?
All gear rentals, guiding services, multiple rappels and ascensions.
Transportation is extra and payment goes straight to your driver ($15). I believe there is no parking fee.
$10 Tip is NOT included. Wetsuit is not included, but a change of clothing and a good fleece will go a long way. NO COTTON!
Sounds Incredible! How Do I Register?
EACH PERSON MUST REGISTER HERE at Eventbrite SEPARATELY.
THEN pay via paypal (login to your paypal account or set one up, click send money, enter smoostickalls@yahoo.com and $120 for services and send!
If payment is not received within 24hrs, I will release your reservation.
.
You need to bring: lunch, 2+ liters of water, full rain gear, boots, leather gloves and a change of clothing in case you get wet. (Bike gloves work great to cut the friction and heat build up on the hands). Also, camera, sunglasses, snacks, backpack, sun hat/baseball cap, sunscreen.
.
Is it dangerous?
As with any sport, there is risk involved, of course. However, the trip is being professionally guided by people who have done this before. I should warn though, that those with a fear of heights, or medical problems that could endanger themselves or the group, should not sign up for this event.
What is the refund policy?
Full refunds will be given until high noon Fri. Sept 17. After that, if someone else takes your place, you must get paid directly by them.
What happens next?
I'll create a separate email list for all attendees and pass along important information, like what to wear, directions, driver list, etc.
Any questions- REREAD ABOVE FIRST, then feel free to contact me.
Please check your emails regularly for updates ESPECIALLY the night before the event.
Final Words (gulp, let's hope not)
Hope you can join me for an awesome time!
