Rock Climbing
Rock climbing with Earth, Water, Rock Outdoor Adventures begins with the obligatory health and safety messages, then high quality training on the equipment you’ll be using and the techniques you’ll need to enjoy your day. You will then hike to the rock face, set up and spend the next few hours challenging yourself to higher and more difficult climbs.
Rappelling
What goes up must come down and there is no better way of descending a rock face in Hocking Hills than rappelling. The guys at Earth, Water, Rock Outdoor Adventures will talk you through the equipment and methodology of rappelling, before letting you loose on an easy descent. You can choose more challenging drops once you’re used to it, or stick to where you are.
