This 20m abseil in the heart of the city is the perfect way to get your heart pumping!
Participants under the age of 16 years are required to be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the activity.
You approach the edge of the cliff, nervous but excited. The rope takes your weight, it’s strength reassuring. Below you, the proud ramparts of the Kangaroo Point Cliffs plunge some 20 metres to the banks of the Brisbane River. Your pulse quickens as you step over the edge, descending with the help and encouragement of your Pinnacle Sports guide.
This is the Kangaroo Point Abseil – a unique and unforgettable experience. Join us for a challenging and thrilling morning in one of Brisbane’s most iconic locations.
This 2 hour session has been funded by Brisbane City Council as part of their Active and Healthy Program.
OUR GUIDES
Our awesome guides are highly trained, fully accredited, and heaps of fun! They’ll teach you everything you need to know, as well as take care of the safety procedures and provide all the gear, including harness, helmet and all other equipment. All you’ll need is a water bottle, appropriate clothing, and enclosed shoes for getting around the cliffs (and a camera couldn’t hurt!)
SESSION TIMES
The session runs for 2 hours, from 6pm - 8pm.
FITNESS REQUIREMENTS
You don’t need much fitness to abseil, but returning to the top of the cliff requires ascending a steep staircase and ramp – some folks find it a bit draining! No technical experience is required whatsoever, we’ll teach you all the skills you need.
