Chris Lavoie | Over the Edge for Ripple Effect

This is Arthur Page coming to you live from One City Center in Portland Maine for the Ripple Effect rappelling event!
Ripple Effect raises money for youth empowerment through outdoor adventure through rappelling events. The way it works, you raise a bunch of money for them ($1k) and they drop you off the side of a building. It is a great deal for everyone!

The weather has not been cooperating but spirits are still high and there are a lot of cheering bystanders cheering on participants as they maneuver down the 180 foot wall of One City Center. More to come but for now, enjoy these great photos!

Update 05/24/14: The video is finished and attached to this post so you can experience rappelling down the side of a building in first person! Special thanks to Chris Lavoie of Keller Williams realty in Portland Maine for helping to raise the funds for this great cause and for getting the great footage!

My name is Arthur Page and I live in Portland Maine. I've been climbing on and off for about 8 years. This year I've decided to up my climbing game and have been training to move past the gym and start out-door lead climbing this summer. I'm currently bouldering between V2 and V3 and climbing top rope at the gym between 5.8 and 5.9. I started this site because of how difficult it is to find climbing resources. Most videos lack production quality and getting any reliable information involves dropping hundreds on a class at a gym. To me this is counter to what I believe to principles of climbing. It is a sport centered around personal challenge, community, and sharing. I hope you feel the same way and I hope you enjoy figure8!
