Rapping down after doing The East Ridge.

Approach beta: from the water trough go left on the Shadow Canyon Connector Trail. Walk a little farther than you think. Turn off where the old quarry road practically touches the trail. Follow the quarry road back north till a cairned trail directly under The Maiden. If you are in poison ivy or loose talus, you went the wrong way....

The most fun rappel I've ever done!

A very unique perspective of the Maiden.

The best rappel in Boulder!

When I first discovered I love airy rappels. <br>
<br>
It was one of the most beautiful short moments of my life.<br>
<br>
Of course, my outlook of airiness might have been twisted if rapped on a windy day. Yikes!<br>
