Climbing and Rappelling

Climbing and rappelling is one of the most exciting and challenging activities done at Cheerio Adventures. The sites used are chosen for the specific programs and abilities of the participants.

The number of days varies from one day for Samplers, New River Adventure and Seekers, two days for the Kayak/Climb/Cave session, to three days for the Rock Climb/Raft program. The difficulty also varies from beginner like the Samplers to intermediate/advanced in the Rock Climb/Raft program.

Programs like Rock Climb/Raft change sites and climbs yearly as the participants' abilities change yearly. As with all our programs the climbs are selected with the abilities of the participants in mind. Cheerio Adventures wants to make sure that all participants have the chance to succeed, be challenged and overcome obstacles.

The height of the climbs and rappells changes from trip to trip. Groups like the Samplers do climbs 15-20 ft in height, the New River Adventure do climbs 20-30 ft in height, Seekers do climbs 40-60 ft in height and groups like the Rock Climb/Raft can do climbs and rappells as long as 120 ft in height.

The following is a list of all Cheerio Adventures programs that include climbing:
