Wheelchair Rappel Record

The American Adventure Service Corps (TAASC) reported the longest rapel by someone in a wheelchair as 900 feet in 2003. Do any Rolling Rains readers know if that record has been broken yet?



New Wheelchair Rappel Record Set


TAASC helped Chris Jefferson from Roaring River, NC set a new wheelchair rappel record on Oct. 17, 2003. Chris rappelled 900 feet down the side of Stone Mountain, located in western North Carolina.

The TAASC Inclusive Committee planned the event with Kate Smith of Adaptive Sports and Adventure Programs in Charlotte
