Abseiling is an exciting and versatile technique used in adventure sports in Spain such as mountaineering, rock climbing, caving and canyoning. It consists of descending safely down a slope, from a higher point to a lower one, using ropes and braking systems. At Akraventuras, we offer you two options to explore this exciting activity:

Already experienced abseiler and looking for a bigger challenge? Our Grand Verticals are ideal for you. Designed for people with previous experience, these descents include hidden trails, climbs and 50 and 60 metre abseils - adventure is guaranteed!
The necessary equipment includes a suitable, tight-fitting harness, a helmet to protect your head from falling rocks, a specific abseil rope, a descender, carabiners and quickdraws to secure the rope to the harness and descender. Also, wear shoes with good soles to provide grip on rocky surfaces.
For basic techniques, learn how to tie the eight knot and the safety knot. Keep your legs straight and your feet apart to control your speed as you descend. Use one hand to brake and the other to guide the rope. Establish clear communication signals with your abseil partner.
To practice, find a place with a gentle slope for your first attempts. Always practice with an instructor or someone experienced to ensure safety during your descents.
Remember that abseiling can be dangerous if not done correctly - have fun and keep safety a priority.
Push your limits and enjoy the adrenaline as you glide through the heights.
