An exiting chance to abseil down a natural crag.
All sessions will begin with an overview of the safety rules, and the reasons these are needed, before getting into their harness and helmets.
Our qualified instructors will coach participants, helping them learn to control their descent as they abseil. As they gain confidence more advanced techniques and games will be introduced, keeping the session fun and challenging for all.
