This will allow people to brush up on their SRT skills before the summer trip to the Felix Trombe.\nFor those that have not been to Rhino before\, it offers a series of 3 medium length pitches (20 to 30m) that include a variety of obstacles (re-belays and deviations) descending down a single large rift.\nThe left hand route is somewhat easier than the right hand one.\nA full SRT kit is required.\nYou will need a CCC permit. This is free and can be arranged on-line on the day\, if necessary.
