"What goes up must come down."
- Sir Isaac Newton
Abseiling and rock climbing go hand in hand. In the beginning, abseiling (also known as rappelling) was developed as a technique to quickly and safely get off the mountainside after a climb. To this day, it's an essential skill that every climber must master.
Over time, something curious happened. More and more people were chasing the spine-tingling adrenaline rush of abseiling hundreds of feet with a rope as their only friend. Except this time, they were doing it from landmarks, bridges, viaducts and towers - all structures that can't be climbed. Abseiling became an extreme sport in its own right.
Despite being an extreme activity, abseiling is open to people of all ages, fitness levels, and doesn't require any previous skills. It can be done from virtually any structure you can safely reach and tie a rope to. For this reason, abseiling has become an extremely popular fundraising activity, bringing in thousands of pounds for charities and worthwhile causes.
We have decades of experience in both mountain abseiling and large-scale abseiling events.
Whatever your abseiling goals are, you're talking to the right people.
