ADVENTURE ABSEILING COURSE (Abseiling I)
Your road to new adventure starts with this abseiling instructional day!
Our one-day adventure abseiling course is designed for participants with little or no previous experience. Remember - "If you can walk, you can abseil! We begin the day with a safety briefing and training session using practice abseils at our specially selected abseiling area. The subjects we cover include the fitting of harnesses and the use of descending devices, familiarisation with the important safety procedures and how to use the correct abseiling skills and techniques. The abseils at the practice area also offer a great opportunity for you to develop and work on your own individual abseiling style!
While we place much emphasis on fun and adventure we will also teach you the important skills youll need to go abseiling in safety anywhere!
After a filling mountain lunch we will head off to tackle some more challenging descents. The big abseils are offered on a "challenge by choice" basis and you are free to go as high as you wish! From towering vertical walls to sheer cut overhangs and forward rundowns, the challenge is your choice! At the end of the day you will receive the ASM Basic Abseiling Certificate.
