    Three to four minutes, this will depend on several factors; your body weight, confidence, abseil technique, weather conditions

    There is a wind limit that is constantly monitored; strong wind will put the event on hold until conditions improve

    Rain light shower do not create a problem for abseiling, heavy showers / rain, the event will be on hold

    How difficult is it to abseil?

    Abseiling is not difficult. Weight of the rope due to the height of your abseil will create a level of fatigue for your primary brake arm / hand. We have abseiled an 82-year-old lady from 26 levels

    No, the rope is not hot to touch. The abseil friction device will get hot, your hands holding the rope, the rope sliding through your hands controlling your descent will get hot; we provide 2 pairs of gloves
