The event registration fee is $200 and participants are required to raise an additional minimum of $1,000 for Wellspring Alberta.

Well-fitting sneakers, light hiking boots, or other soft soled shoes are best. No sandals, slip-ons, slippers, flip flops, heels, or steel toed boots allowed. Comfortable long pants (tights, athletics pants) or shorts are recommended. Long or short sleeve t-shirts are best. The harness goes around your legs, waist, and shoulders, so it is best to avoid anything bulky. Shirts should be comfortable, without draw cords. Hair should be tied back. 

You will be required to leave droppable items like keys and cell phones, or jewellery that can get caught on 
things, with a staff member on-site. You will be given a pair of leather gloves and a helmet when you arrive. 

Many people choose to wear costumes for their rappel. All costumes need to meet the same standards as 
listed above. Capes must be approved by the Site Safety Supervisor for the main rappel.

Almost anyone who has registered and raises $1,200 by September 5. Rappelers must weigh between 100 and 300 pounds to ensure their safety while rappelling. The only restriction is that anyone under the age of 18 requires a parent or guardian’s signature on the legal waiver.
