Hello all friends both new and existing,
It is time to abseil. This is a core skill for a lot of outdoor trips and a very rewarding experience.
That’s what Abseil Skills 1 is for. In this course, we teach you the knowledge and skills you need in order to safely abseil outdoors, no experience required! You will learn how to:
⁃ Maintain personal safety on and around cliffs
⁃ Identify and use abseiling equipment
⁃ Prepare for an abseil
⁃ Conduct pre-abseil safety checks
⁃ Conduct abseil communication between the top and bottom of cliffs
⁃ Perform a variety of abseils
⁃ Negotiate common abseil hazards
⁃ Perform fireman belays

WHAT TO BRING
Closed, grippy shoes
Sun protection
Snacks
Plenty of water
Hair ties/a way to tie long hair back (if you have long hair – you do not want it getting caught in your rope system!)
Rope, harnesses, helmets and all other safety equipment will be provided by the club (but feel free to bring your own).
In the ‘experience and skills’ box, please state any experience you have with roped activities (none is fine, this is after-all a beginner session!).
Hope to see you there!
