A skill used in rock climbing and caving, abseiling is a thrilling activity in its own right. Don't be too put off if you're scared of heights. Many people find that abseiling is a great way to overcome their fear and an excellent confidence builder. Due to its potentially risky nature, abseiling should always be performed under the supervision of trained instructors. For a further challenge you might consider rap running - a very similar pursuit except that you descend the rock face forwards.
