Rappelling Whiteside Mountain
Loading...
Uploaded by ESSOGrotto on Jan 22, 2007
A 700 foot rappel off of Whiteside Mountain in Highlands, NC. The mountain is almost 5000 feet high so the free hang on rope feels more like you are 4000 feet up.

Lotta years, lotta years. The famous Rocket Rick Hill once rappelled and climbed Whiteside ten times in one day (truthfully, it also took him part of one night). Before his back started acting up years later, Rick was the King of the Multiple Bounce. We used to camp up there on top of the mountain and the spend the entire weekend on the rope.

I have never rappelled Whiteside , but I have climbed the OR (original route) three times. The last time we went straight up the tenth pitch and finished at the scenic overlook. Right thru the handrails with a crowd watching! Its dangerous , runout , has poisonous flora in some cracks and has bats in route to the top, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE CLIMBING !!!

Yep. It took me 46 minutes mainly because it was so psychologically demanding on me being that high. It doesn't bother a lot of folks, but I am not one of them. I am training to go back this year and hopefully beat the time.
