DESCRIPTION: Abseiling - accept the challenge! Abseiling, or ‘rappelling’, is basically a method of descending a rope in a safe, controlled manner. Of course, the rope is often hanging over a cliff face or dangling from an overhang!
Abseiling has gained widespread use and acceptance in many fields such as climbing, caving, rescue, scientific field research and in the military. Few things compare to the sensation of adrenalin you feel as you first step off the edge of a cliff. You have spent your whole life being told to keep away from the edge but now it's time to go over! The excitement and fear will swell inside as you communicate to your body to lean out over the cliff looking at the ground far below. All you need to do is move your feet one by one but you may feel some reluctance to do so. This is where our fantastic staff will guide you step by step. Once you have conjured up the courage to descend, an overwhelming sense of achievement will kick in. You will want to do it over and over again. This is a fully guided 3-hour experience on real rock. You will receive continual encouragement and instruction on rock safety, abseiling equipment and techniques.
