 | Very occasionally, on some of the Practitioner Part 2 courses we may use the Climbing Tower for climbing and for abseiling. It's quite a different experience and with a much different 'feel' from climbing in the trees. |
| The top is about 40' from the ground. In climbing you climb up the outside and are lowered back down abseil-style. In abseiling you climb up the internal stairs to get to the platform. |  |
 | Climbing looks like hard work - but it isn't. Most of the 'work' in climbing should be done by your legs - try using mainly your arms and you will quickly exhaust yourself! |
|  |
 | The moment when you are fitted with yours safety harness and ropes before abseiling down. Lots of thoughts go through the mind - like 'what on earth am I doing this?' |
| Some people like to look down before clambering over the edge... |  |
 | ...and launching themselves down. After the first few moments going down becomes a pleasure which proves to be too short-lived. |
| You can carefully walk down in small steps while keeping at right angles to the wall and leaning well back into the rope... |  |
 | ...or bounce off the wall by bracing and straightening your legs - see how far out you can bounce and still keep your balance, if you wish. |
| And, of course, when you arrive at the bottom you'll likely find yourself wanting to go back up again to try out some more tricks and some different ways of descending. |  |
