Abseiling is a year round activity, whether it’s a vertical cave where abseiling is the only way down or multi pitch abseils when it’s too cold to get wet in a canyon.
For the truly adventurous, occasionally the Big Drops (such as Pierces Pass or the Big Hole) appear on the calendar.
It’s not unusual for us to take our abseiling gear on an exploratory bushwalk, forcing our way up through a cliff-line. Then, rather than down climbing the way we came, we’ll just throw over a rope and abseil.
