Habitat Challenge @ Hotel Murano
Tickets
Sep 16 @ 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

On September 16, you could be 245′ above Tacoma with just one way down as the Habitat Challenge urban rappel returns for its 6th year. In this thrilling, bucket-list experience you have the opportunity to pick up some major bragging rights as you descend from the roof of Tacoma’s second tallest building, Hotel Murano. The rappel is managed by highly trained, certified industrial ropes specialists and you will be wearing full-body industrial harnesses, very similar to that of professional window washers. Get all the details by clicking the button below. A deposit of $50 reserves your spot on the ropes and we’ll provide fundraising tools to get you the rest of the way.
