Advanced Abseiling Course (Abseiling II)

We start with a short review of your existing abseiling skills and knowledge and then proceed to the more advanced instruction.

The course content will include:

~ selection, fitting and use of abseiling equipment
~ selection and rigging of suitable anchor systems and single pitch abseils
~ hazard identification and avoidance
~ risk management strategies
~ self-belaying methods
~ belay techniques for abseiling
~ dealing with emergencies such as a “stuck” abseiler
~ basic rescue and self rescue systems.

While there is some theory involved in this one-day course, all the training will take place on the cliffs. If you’re serious about becoming independent on the cliffs, then the ASM Advanced Abseiling Course is a must.

This price is for one person.
