Abseiling

Abseiling events begin with a full safety brief and an explanation of the basic principles of abseiling from our qualified abseil instructors.

Abseiling [abbing] is sliding down a fixed rope, using a climbing harness and a friction device to control the speed of the descent. The technique is used primarily as a means of descent from a rock climb or a mountain. Your Great Escape abseils differ, as they are set up by professional instructors who have full control of each participant, by utilising a safety back up rope and a releasable main rope.

Abseiling is only available at certain locations – please contact us for further details.
