Climbing and Rappelling

Friday, 02 July 2010 19:00

Located near the southeast end of camp is the impressive 60-foot-tall rappelling tower. Looking over treetops with a view north across the lake and views both up and down the Little Miami River Valley, the rappelling tower is a signature landmark of Camp Friedlander...

One one side of the tower is the climbing wall, with varying levels of difficulty for novice and experienced climbers alike. Four portals, one at 20 feet, one at 30 feet, one at 40 feet, and one at 50 feet offer increasing degrees of challenge. 

Rappelling or climb is open to all scouts. Climbing merit badge is offered, as well as recreational climb and rappell times throughout the week, and Climb-on-Safely training.

All climbing participants must complete a Element of Danger Statement.
