  • Curiosidade sobre o rapel
  • Você sabia que o rapel (do francês rappel, que significa recuperar ou chamar) surgiu no final do século XIX na França? Desenvolvida em 1879 por Jeans Charlet-Stranton e seus amigos Prosper Payot e Frederic Folliguet,o termo que tornou a técnica famosa no mundo todo surgiu durante a conquista do Petit Dru, na França.
  • O rapel não tem nada ver com a trilha. não existe rapel pra acessar a trilha. com ou sem rapel a trilha será a mesma.
