Days 3–4: World-Class Hiking and Rappelling —
Hosted by Apa Sherpa and Lhakpa Gelu Sherpa
Incredible is the only way to describe this part of your Ultimate 5 Lifetime Adventures. For two days you’ll have the chance to:
- Hike Angels Landing (Rated one of the top 3 non-assisted hikes in the world). You’ll find yourself hiking along a path with cliffs dropping off 1,500 feet on both sides as you zig-zag up a path cut into the face of sheer rock. If Angels Landing doesn’t get your heart racing, nothing will.
- Hike Zion Narrows (Rated the #1 hike in the U.S. National Park system). The Narrows is a slot canyon that cuts through 1,200 feet of sheer rock. Only 10-12 feet wide in places, the Narrows is filled with incredible colors, running water, and shadows that seem from another world.
- Rappel Pine Creek (Rated one of the top 5 descents in its class (3BII)). Pine Creek is a series of six rappels that will take you down slot canyons hundreds of feet high and only a few feet across. No wonder climbers come from all over the world to accomplish this rappel!
Apa Sherpa holds the world record for the most successsful ascents on Mount Everest and is considered the greatest living mountain climber in the world. Lhakpa Gelu Sherpa holds the world record for the fastest ascent up Mt. Everest with a time of 10 hrs 56 min and 46 sec — 6 hours faster than the previous record.
