Introduction
Approach
Descent
The Goblin's Lair is known as a one-drop wonder, meaning there is only one true rappel. There are other nuisance drops that are easily bypassed on the way that you could set up rappels for but that is not really worth it.
Rappels
- R1: 90 feet anchored from rocks. The rappel is mostly free hanging and drops into a dark, cavernous room.
