Abseiling is a popular activity among those craving a bit of strenuous exercise. Participants rappel down or across natural or man-made rock formations, with the end goal of reaching the bottom or a predetermined stopping point.

Abseiling is a common outdoor pursuit among those on adventure holidays, adventure courses or on a corporate away day from the office; it can be done both by individuals as well as by teams. In the case of the latter, it can lead to improved teamwork skills and interpersonal communication. For this reason, it is often used as a teambuilding game by professional adventure courses.

A physically and mentally demanding outdoor activity, abseiling requires strength, endurance and agility as well as knowledge of basic safety features. Inexperienced abseilers may find themselves in a risky situation if they’re not careful. Rookies to the sport may want to book time on an adventure course, where a staff of experienced professionals can teach them all they need to know about the activity.

Abseiling is a great way to get out and enjoy your activity day away from the office, home or school. As adventures go, it can be either as gruelling or leisurely as you want, especially if you are engaging in it through an adventure centre, where the controlled conditions ensure that you get the experience you want, rather than wanting for experience.

Whether you’re looking to get your kids out and about on an activity day away from school, or you’re looking to get your employees revved up about teambuilding games on a corporate retreat, abseiling is the ideal outdoor activity for you!
