Abseiling, Beginners Learn to Abseil Course - Brisbane
Welcome to the vertical world – Abseiling Brisbane! Abseiling provides an exciting, adrenalin filled adventure that is a base skill required for caving, canyoning, rock climbing, mountaineering, remote area bushwalking or just for fun. Abseiling is a great way to safely step outside your comfort zone and challenge yourself.
During this learn-to-abseil course your instructors will issue you with your gear, including a harness, karabiner and figure-eight descender, all of which you'll be shown how to use. Safety procedures will be explained before you rig up and abseil the starter slope. After a couple of abseils on these beginner slopes you'll become familiar with the correct abseiling stance and other descent techniques.
Once you're confident, you can test your abseiling skills on some more exciting and higher drops. Then you're free to complete as many descents on the main cliffs as you can fit into the session. By the end of the abseiling course you'll be competent enough to tackle one of the abseiling field trips in the Glasshouse Mountains, or you may want to expand your rock sports repertoire with an introductory rock climbing session.
