Abseiling (German: abseilen, "to rope down"), rappelling in American English,[1] is the controlled descent down a rope; climbers use this technique when a cliff or slope is too steep and/or dangerous to descend without protection. Abseiling is used chiefly in British English, while other Anglophone countries, except Australia and New Zealand, use different terms.


Abseiling (/ˈæbsl/ or /ˈɑːpzl/; from German abseilen, meaning "to rope down"), also calledrappelling, is the controlled descent of a vertical drop, such as a rock face, using a rope.
