— What is Abseiling —
Abseiling, also known as rappelling from the French word "rappeller" (meaning "to recall" or "to pull through"), is a controlled descent over a vertical drop. This versatile adventure activity can be performed on various surfaces, such as cliff faces, buildings, or even bridges like the Story Bridge Adventure Climb.
The key to abseiling is control. At Kangaroo Point, the abseil activity involves a 20-25 meter descent, making safety and control crucial.
