Come along to this beginner‑friendly abseil and rope skills session if you are keen to join any of our canyoning trips in the future.
We'll kick things off with a run‑through of the basics:
- how abseiling works,
- different belay options (bottom/fireman's belay, self‑managing, and top belay)
- how to keep things smooth and safe on the wall.
After that, I'll rig up a few abseil lines and we'll split into pairs. One person abseils, the other belays, and then you swap. Super chill, plenty of time to practice, ask questions, and build confidence.
If we've still got time and energy at the end, I'll also demo a couple of simple fixed and releasable anchor setups.
No experience needed. Let me know in the notes if you need any gear and I'll bring them from gear store.
