Gorge walking combines mountaineering and potholing skills. It involves descending and getting round different canyons and gorges in a wetsuit and helmet, assisted by ropes and harnesses. You'll go down gorge and canyon walls, go through narrow passes and even cross small waterfalls and get to streams. You'll use specific techniques to abseil down various drops, jump into pools and go down natural slides, even diving through submerged siphons. The qualified guides who'll accompany you are experts in their field and will make sure you really enjoy this unique activity.
Experience Content
The action kicks off at the centre where you will be introduced to the guides, experts in mountaineering and climbing. Before leaving, you’ll have a brief, informative session on safety and the guides will show you all the necessary basic techniques. With some centres, you’ll need your own means of transport to get to the gorge walking area. However, for those areas difficult to access, transport will be provided by the centre.
