Abseiling was originally used as an improvised mountaineering technique for safeguarding sections of steep ground during descent. Today, abseiling remains an essential skill used by cavers, mountaineers and rock climbers for either exploration, continuation of a journey or to enable access to areas such as sea cliffs in relative safety. Abseiling is a classic high sensation, high thrill experience. It is understandably very popular with our groups for these reasons. Given the time and the correct terrain even the most apprehensive person will come back for another go.

A real life computer game! Dropped off at a remote location, you choose to race the clock or another group in your party. Avoid capture whilst solving problems and finding clues to navigate to the next location and ultimately find the computer code before the bad guys. The clues can be in hard to access locations, so weaselling, rock climbing, abseiling and zip lining/high ropes are likely to be involved amongst other challenges.
Guided excursions
Friendly, highly qualified and super experienced instructors.
Equipment
Fees include the use of specialist equipment and all training materials. Whilst we encourage you to bring and use your own gear so that we can discuss it, all ropes used on courses will be provided by Beyond the Edge. We are happy to loan any other equipment that you may need such as helmet, harness or boots, free of charge just let us know on your booking form.
Accommodation
We prefer to let you choose where you will be most comfortable. This may be in a tent or in a luxury hotel. Unless the event specifically states that accommodation is included, such as our guided walking programs it won’t be.

Climbing on Gritstone, Limestone, Trad, sport and multi pitch. The aim of the course is to give you a solid and robust grounding in the key skills of climbing. Each course is bespoke to the people that attend - the pace will be dictated by the speed at which clients learn and the level of challenge acceptable to the individual. Although there will be no pressure to lead climb (climbing without the protection of a rope from above) - for most people this is the aim of the week.
Acclimbatize rock climbing courses are delivered to the highest national standards. Many of our staff team are approved providers and directors of the ‘Mountain Training‘ schemes, including; The Rock Climbing Instructor Award and the Rock Skills Scheme or are members of the Association of Mountaineering Instructors.
Equipment
All climbing equipment is provided.
Guided excursions
