Abseiling
With its roots in mountaineering and climbing abseiling is traditionally a way of retreating down a cliff, now also used for working at height it is becoming a popular outdoor activity.
You control the speed of your descent using a figure of 8 and the instructor will keep you safe using a safety rope, usually time allows all participants several goes so as your confidence builds you may want to try some commando style bouncing down the cliff
We use a variety of venues in and around Borrowdale valley for this activity to suit your group’s abilities one of which ends in a cave…so the last few metres are free hanging!
Abseiling is both exhilarating and rewarding with many first timers becoming lifelong fans – we can help you to get started and introduce you to a whole new way of getting high by going down!
