Abseiling

What is abseiling?

Rappelling, as it is also known, is the controlled descent of a rope and it's fantastic fun.  Slang terms are 'rapping' or 'rap jumping'.

Is it hard to learn?

Like bridgeswinging, abseiling is quite easy to learn. After a few lessons, you'll be slipping down the rope like a spider.
