What to expect
Your instructor will walk you through abseiling fundamentals on the ground—harness fitting, rope control, and descent mechanics—before you clip in and face the rock. You'll descend gradually, with continuous guidance and safety checks. The gorge walls offer solid, textured rock and stunning outlooks. Expect a mix of instruction time and active rappelling across the three hours. The pace suits beginners; prior climbing or rope experience isn't essential.
