Description

Experience Hocking Hills from a 75 foot Rappel!

Located on pristine private property in the Hocking Hills of Ohio, High Rock Adventures offers an exciting introduction to rappelling. The only company in the region using state-of-the-art Petzl stainless steel anchoring systems, no trees are damaged and you can rappel in confidence knowing our steel anchors could hold the weight of a large van going over the cliff.
With rappels beginning at 35ft up to 70+ft, this tour is a great blend of nature and adrenaline! You'll experience three different types pf rappels: flat wall, canyon, and large leaning rock. Rappelling is less physically demanding than rock climbing but doesn’t sacrifice any excitement. We provide all the gear and instruction, no experience necessary.

FAQs

Are reservations required? The staff will try their very best to accommodate walk-ins, but are sometimes unable to do so. Reservations are highly recommended and most tours are available to book online up to 24 hours before tour time. 
Can I use my own gear? We appreciate and understand the desire and preference of using your own gear if you have it, but in order to comply with our insurance policy, we require participants to use our harnesses, ropes, gear and anchors.
Should I tip my guide? Although not required, tips are greatly appreciated! If your guide is as awesome as we expect, we suggest 10% to 15% of the tour cost. 
What should I expect when I come for my tour? Guests should arrive 20 minutes before the tour. After verifying we have signed waivers for each participant, guests receive a safety briefing, instruction, and equipment fitting (as needed) at our office before heading to the activity area with their guide. Restrooms and refillable water are available at the office when you check-in.
