Embrace Abseiling and Rock Climbing Full Day Adventure - Galston, NSW

Harness –> Helmet –> Safety Briefing –> Adrenaline –> Descend or Acend!

Walking backwards off or climbing up a cliff is not a ‘normal’ activity but participants on our women’s only abseiling and rock climbing program are introduced to both equipment and techniques that make it safe yet still challenging. We focus on promoting good technique and confidence on small sections of cliff before gradually increasing the height and raising the challenge!

This abseiling / rock climbing adventure is a fab way to enjoy the great outdoors, get active and have some fun with a group of great ladies.

FAQs 

How fit do I need to be? 

We recommend a moderately level of fitness. This full day adventure is around 6 hours in duration. Our attitude is that it's your day, and work with you at a level YOU are comfortable with, and have rest stops as often as YOU like. As with any physical activity, always discuss anything new with your GP.


What if I don’t have anyone to go with? 

No problem at all, there are two Embrace Escape hosts to make sure everyone meets before we set off. By the end of the day we're sure you would have found some new friends. 


Do I need experience? 

Definitely not! Our guide will give a comprehensive briefing before the tour on equipment use, safety and what to expect while on the tour. We also offer tips to improve your technique to make things easier and more enjoyable for you while on the tour. 


How many Women will be on my adventure? 

We like to keep things quite small and intimate at Embrace Escapes to offer you a supportive and friendly environment. Generally, there will be 10-15 women on your tour.

Will bad weather conditions affect my adventure? 

It could. Wet weather will generally not cause the cancellation of an abseiling adventure. If the weather is inclement enough to be a potential safety risk, we will contact you in the days before the adventure to discuss your options. *See t&c below

What if I am petrified of heights and freak out?

It happens and we are here to provide a supportive environment for you to just give it a go. Our outdoor Guide is very adept at calming nerves and helping you to see exactly what you are capable of accomplishing. No judgement!
