Abseiling Lake District

is great fun. We know that it can also be a huge challenge. Whether you’re after the biggest abseil we can find, or it’s your first time we have the experience to give you a great time!

Abseiling sessions are private bookings solely for you and your friends/family.

I can not recommend highly enough. Booked for a birthday trip for my husband and two teenage boys.

Will put us all at ease by his professionalism and expertise. He ran through all the safety procedures and was conscious of the social distance.
The jumps varied in height and difficulty and we climbed up a waterfall which was quite intense due to the flow of water. The boys loved the challenge of the bigger jumps into deep pools. I bottled the biggest jump but wills patience was amazing! I’m sorry I didn’t do it! He made a climb down which I did do with a smaller jump.
If you are looking for a post lockdown adventure this is the place to go, great communication, great location and staff. Thank you so much!

Had an amazing time and Alex was brilliant, especially with my youngest son. Fab experience!

We signed up for an afternoon of ghyll scrambling and we weren’t quite sure what to expect. What we got was a fantastic afternoon – climbing up and down river banks, diving into the water (with wet suits!) and generally challenging ourselves under the watchful eye of Stuart …

Challenge level & duration

Abseiling Lake District challenge level

We’ve seen it all! From terrified to confident, beginner to expert or young to old, Abseiling Lake District is something everyone can have a go at a level that suits them. We know our local area really well and the best venues for each group. At each venue, we rig all the abseils ourselves so we can choose the appropriate route for you.

We will teach you all you need to know for your session including how to use a harness, tie in and use the abseil device. You’ll abseil yourself down the route with our instructor using a safety back up.

You don’t need any experience or prior knowledge to have a great half-day session Abseiling Lake District. If you’ve abseiled before and want something a bit more challenging, that’s not a problem….We know some scary abseils too!

Abseils vary in length from 10 to 45m so there’s something for everyone to have a go at.

Please choose level 1 for beginners or level 2 for more challenging abseils at the point of booking.

We also provide helmets, harness and buoyancy aids where appropriate depending on which session you are on.

Do you need to bring anything?

Yes, please bring socks and trainers to wear during the session. These must-have laces and be proper shoes (do NOT bring slip-on water shoes).

Under the wetsuit please wear a swimsuit or underpants. If you have a rash vest, thermal top or football shirt, this will be a nice layer to wear but is not essential.
You will need a big towel for afterwards and lads don’t forget a spare pair of underpants.
And lastly, we ask everyone to bring a pair of shorts (ideally board shorts) but these are to give you some dignity and protect the bum of the wetsuit.
