ABSEILING
Abseiling in South Africa and around the
world is a popular activity for thrill seekers. Abseiling
involves using specialized ropes and harnesses to descend
a cliff face. There are numerous opportunities for both beginners
and the experienced.
The attraction of Abseiling lies not only
in the adrenaline rush, but also in the opportunity to experience
the majesty of the great outdoors, unique views of breathtaking
mountains, valleys and gorges.
The
cliffs of Table Mountain in Cape Town offer the highest commercial
abseil in the world at 112 metres. A professional abseiling
company will introduce you to the techniques of the sport
and guide you down this superb rock face.
