Combo Pack : Rapelling Activity

Cost : ₹  550/- per head

Rapelling : The definition of abseiling or Rapelling is fairly simple. The term comes from the German word abseilen, meaning ‘to rope down’. Also known as rappelling, abseiling is a vital skill for mountain climbers but is also useful in other sports too.

Techniques

1. To abseil the first thing you need is a rope secured at the top of where you want to abseil down and check that the area below you is clear. That rope is then run through a friction device known as descender or Figure of 8 which is attached to a harness around your waist.
2. lean out backwards over the drop and slowly begin to lower yourself down, using one hand to slow down and the other to hold on to the rope above you.
3. As you move carefully downwards, the friction device slows the rope a bit making it easier to control your descent but basically you are under your own power, abseiling at a speed that you feel comfortable with. But be careful though, because messing up the speed can make you look like a bit of a practice
4. Heed to instructions of Instructor. As you descend you need to watch out for anything sticking out from whatever you are abseiling down that you might get caught on and be on the look out for any loose debris that might fall on you too. You also need to keep checking the landing to make sure you won’t land on anyone or hurt yourself when you get to the bottom.

Includes : Safety gear and Equipments, Medical kit
