Rappel length is rope length, not drop height. All rappel lengths are approximate. Some are only estimated, not actually measured. Numbers provided as a rough guide only. Be aware of your surroundings and do not blindly follow any canyoneering info. Max rap length of 95 feet is an approximation. Also, canyon conditions can change. Bring longer ropes.
Exit[edit]
