Discover abseiling with a fun, beginner‑friendly introduction that gets you feeling confident on real rock.

You’ll meet your instructor at the crag, get kitted out with a harness and helmet, and learn the essentials—how to stay safe, use the kit, and control your descent.

Once you’re ready, we’ll ease you in with a mini abseil, giving you time to get comfortable with the equipment and the feeling of moving down the rope under your own control.

As the session builds, you’ll step up to our full 10‑metre abseil—taller than most houses! It’s an exciting challenge, but taken at your pace. With a small group size, everyone will have enough time to have a go, and if we have enough time the brave amongst may be able to have a 2nd shot!

Fancy testing your strength and balance with rock climbing as well? Check out our Climb & Abseil Adventure!
