Rock Climbing & Abseiling
What is it?
Rock climbing is the ascent of a rock face, often a quarry, sea cliff or sometimes a mountain, using ropes to provide safety. Abseiling sometimes called rappelling, is the descent of a rock face using a rope. Climbing and abseiling can also take place indoors at a climbing wall.
