Ever found yourself just muddling through a sea cliff abseil set up, and sort of making it up as you go along? Or wondered how you might get yourself out of a sticky situation once you’d started trying to climb out?
Look no further! Here’s a chance to refine those skills, get slicker and quicker at the abseil stuff, so you can spend more time climbing! And whilst we’re at it, let’s spend a bit of time looking at some problem solving techniques we could employ if it all gets a bit sub-optimal. (Think abseiling into the wrong place and needing to get out, or the route being too hard for you, through to some more significant problems)
Some problem solving skills we could could cover might include:
• Different abseiling set-ups and systems
• Prussiking up a rope
• Tying off belay devices safely
Go to top
• Improvised hauling/hoisting systems
• Escaping the System
• And much more!
Exactly what gets covered depends on time available, venue choice, existing skill levels and what you think you’d like to learn! You’ve got my time for the day, so pick my brains and learn as much as you can!
