Abseiling down Northampton lift tower

Trying to overcome my fear of heights

[@StepsWay]

you can hear the fear in this mans voice. his lady is very confident that everything will be okay! shows how well opposites attract. great video.

Yep, well done to this gentleman for doing this, not sure I fancy it!

[@andrewmurray5542]

Andy's instructor is great, very reassuring and confident; just the kind of person you need for this type of activity.

[@SuperBlobsterMan]

It's not the fear of heights. It is the fear of death when doing something unfamiliar and trusting others. The guy should have built a 8ft repel wall and practiced on his own. The smarter you are the less you trust your peers. So you fear when their direction is given to you in a dangerous situation, especially when you are unfamiliar and can't verify safety for yourself.

I am doing this in a couple of weeks. Looks great! Well done for going for it!

Yo, You was awsome mate.. I was rooting for you all the way down

[@DubTheGreat]

It’s soooo hard to go against your intuition and lean back but once you do it’s easy

[@OfficialLauraE]

Im doing this today! You did so well! So brave!

[@markymark2819]

How did you get on?

[@OfficialLauraE]

@@markymark2819 it was so scary, it was really slippy and so hard to get my feet back on the glass after they slipped down (I did it off a building in Manchester). Not sure I would do it again but definitely a great experience. Your video was really helpful :)

I did this in HawkHirst on Friday 25 March and I was really scared at first when you get the hang of Abselling it will be so much fun

[@richardquinn3711]

[@andrewmurray5542]

My legs have turned to jelly!

[@andyking7401]

Thanks, enjoy

What a pleasant viewing, especially after the last vid I watched 'how not to abseil', which was run by a bunch of cowboys.

[@ShakDK972]

What on earth. You have 1 fail point. So when you run abseils you have a back up fail point meaning that loop that both points are on should be two separate. Also that guy doesn't need to explain all that. My team run these all the time good for what not to do. You did amazing though dude, you should be super proud. Alot more bottle that most people I know
