Our professionally trained guides will show you the ropes and prepare you for the journey down the cliff face. No previous experience necessary for this action‐packed day of rappelling, hiking and scrambling on Langbian! What is abseiling? Abseiling is lowering your‐self over a cliff face by using ropes and other safety related devices. The cliff that we abseil off of on Langbian is an impressive 25 meters high. At the practice slope you’ll learn the basics of knot tying, harness wearing, hardware, and proper abseiling technique. After the guides are satisfied that you’ve got it down, you’ll head down the Abseiling cliffs! Group A: Jeep up for Abseiling and Hiking 9:30 – 10:30 am – Jeep up and walk up to the cliffs
