Rock Pool Abseil
This is much more than just an abseil. It involves a visit to two fantastic waterfalls with crystal clear rock pools, abseiling down an overhanging cliff as well as rope ascending and/or rock climbing back to the top. For this trip, you need to be in good physical shape. The trip starts with a short walk to the stunning 80m high Rust & Vrede waterfall. From there we walk and scramble up a fairly steep gully for aproximately 20-30 minutes. Reaching the top of the abseil site, your breath will be taken away by this magnificent view of another waterfall and inviting rock pools 20m below!
Not as high as the 'Cliff Abseil' but it looks and feels much higher and will certainly stretch your comfort zone! Within 2 meters from the start of your abseil, you will be free hanging and away from the rock face.
After swimming and/or relaxing at the rock pool, you need to get back up the rock face. This is done by using mechanical ascenders, either you can use it as a safety backup while rock climbing or you simply climb up the rope by sliding the ascenders upwards (also called jumaring). Although it is a challenge, by using the right technique (which we will show you) it is very do-able, great fun and also very safe.
This experience is truly magnificent and will stay in your memories for ever!
Bring swimming costume, light snacks, closed shoes and camera!
