Do I need to have any experience to take this course?
Introduction to rappelling（登山运动中的绕绳下降运动）is a course designed for complete beginners. We call this course "All the fun without any work". You spend the day learning to rappel off different cliffs（悬崖）and by the end of the course, you should look like a superhero.
How long is the course?
It is a one-day course. The course runs from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The instructors will meet you at the parking area for 9:00 a.m. and you should be back in the parking area for 4:00 p.m.
What is the age restriction for this course?
The course is open to adults, teenagers and children. Children who are under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
What if I don't have a strong upper body?
Rappelling does not require any upper body strength. The equipment holds you so the challenge is more mental than physical.
Can I get a copy of the photos the instructor takes?
The photos taken by the instructors are for use in the brochure（宣传册）or website. Due to the high number of requests we are not able to email them to each learner.
Is it customary to tip my instructor?
Tipping is not required. If you feel that you have received exceptional（特殊的） service and would like to gift the instructors with a tip, they will accept it and appreciate your generosity.
