If adrenaline pumping action is what you desire, our new Ridge Rappel & Climbing Excursion is just for you! Begin your tour with our provided transportation to the Massanutten Peak. A short hike will take you to the rappelling location, where your guide will give a quick, but thorough, safety briefing. Then, get ready to experience the thrill of a 38ft and 58ft rappel, assisted by your guide. Stop for beverages and a quick snack at the scenic overlook before reaching for new heights during the rock climbing portion. Conquer your fears and blaze your own trail on two different Class 5 climbing routes, with difficulty ratings from 5.6-5.8 to match your climbing experience and fitness level.

Professionally trained guides assist you during each activity, so no experience is necessary. When your feet have finally touched back to the ground  below you, hike back to the Massanutten Peak where you are free to sit back, relax, and get a ride back to the base of the mountain.

Guides will provide a small snack and a drink. If you are happy with your guided experience and would like to tip your guides, please bring cash. Tours are weather dependent and will be canceled if the weather creates an unsafe environment.
