The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park’s striking ArcelorMittal Orbit is stepping things up a notch with their abseiling experience.
Forget the slide – well actually there’s no need to forget it, it’s still pretty cool – it’s all about the abseiling now. And this one’s definitely not for the faint-hearted.
[Instagram @amorbit]Take a daring descent down the London Olympics’ famous viewing tower – which also happens to be Britain’s largest piece of public art – standing tall at a whopping 114 metres. Ok, you won’t be going up quite that high. Just to 80 metres. No biggie… Right? Well, have you ever been to Thorpe Park? Their infamous rollercoaster Stealth only reaches 62 metres high. Now try saying this abseil is no big deal.
[Instagram @amorbit]But of course there’s no need to worry. A team of experienced abseil instructors from Wire & Sky will look after you every step of the way. They use the safest rigging system conceivable so all you’ll have to focus on are the incredible views. Keep your eyes peeled for The Gherkin, St. Paul’s Cathedral, The Shard, and Wembley Stadium, as well as the incredible buildings surrounding the Orbit in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. It’s a truly breathtaking experience.
