Introduction
Our qualified instructors can take you abseiling off-site for a unique challenge in a beautiful environment.
Session overview
After an initial safety briefing, participants will be given an in-depth introduction to the equipment they will be using during the session. Participants will then receive demonstration before moving on to the activity where they will be instructed throughout.
