Bridge Day Rappel & High Line
New River Gorge BRIDGE DAY will be held October 20, 2007!
Bridge Day is the largest extreme sports event in the world and held on the third Saturday in October every year in Fayette County, West Virginia, U.S.
Bridge Day Rappel
The 2007 Bridge Day Rappel will consist of several teams who will be allowed to ascend and/or descend a fixed rope from the catwalk beneath the New River Gorge Bridge on Bridge Day.
Bridge Day Rappel teams are chosen by a lottery drawing in June of each year. The rappel participant must be a seasoned rappeller with proper rack training who has successfully completed at least a 250’ rappel. He/she must be familiar with the skills, equipment, and rescue techniques associated with rappelling.
A group of individuals wishing to participate in the Bridge Day Rappel next year must choose a group leader who submits an application for his/her team in the lottery drawing. Each team must have all the necessary rappelling equipment. Individuals must have his/her own rappelling/ascending gear. The rappel information for the upcoming Bridge Day is distributed each year in March.
Bridge Day High Line
The high line will return to Bridge Day this year. Retired Army Sergeant Lucian Dean and his rigging team will rig the same high line as last year. The high line rider will slide approximately 700 feet down a rope attached to the bridge’s catwalk to the Fayette Station Road below. The high line is open to the media and the general public. You too can have the ride of a lifetime! The high line rider will receive a high line orientation, safety briefing, and be outfitted with the proper equipment. Please call for info on how to sign up.
