Rap Jumping
One, two, three jump! This summer you can literally jump off the top of Whistler Mountain. Guaranteed to get your adrenaline pumping, Rap Jumping is face-forward, free-fall rappelling and is the latest exhilarating adventure to hit Whistler.
The Australian Army introduced face-forward rappelling in the early 60s as a military maneuver. It has since been coined the "Aussie Rappel", popularized commercially as an adventure sport in Australia, New Zealand and Africa.
Located 5000 feet above the valley floor in full view of the newly opened Peak Chair on Whistler Mountain, the Whistler Alpine Guides are offering Rap Jumping whereby participants lower themselves over the dramatic rock face of Whistler Peak. Involving a harness, ropes and a breaking device enabling participants to descend under their own control, rap jumping is not for the faint of heart. For those participants less inclined to face their fear, traditional rappelling is also offered.
Scheduled to open mid July, Rap Jumping will be available daily from 11:00am - 4:00pm. Participants can reserve their jump time in advance or visit the booking desk at the Rap Jump Site beside the top station of Whistler Peak Chair.
