To be honest that looks like one of the worst business startups in history. Thanks for posting anyway.

In reply to abseil:


Why?

If you've got a bit of spare cash and want an experience that's not like anything else that you're ever likely to do then I can see the attraction of a night dangling off a cliff. It might seem odd from a climbers' perspective, but then so does abseiling for its own sake, and people seem to do okay from running that as an "experience".

In reply to Ramblin dave:


OK, let's see, time will tell!

In reply to Denni:

This would probably work better in a country that doesn't have a default weather setting of RAIN.

In reply to abseil:


Why? Low setup costs - within a few of nights they'll have broken-even and become profitable. They've already generated publicity for their business - we're talking about it here.

In reply to rj_townsend:


Also, they seem to be an established guiding company, so it's more of an extra string to their bow than a business startup. If no-one goes for it then they can just carry on doing introductory climbing courses or whatever.

In reply to Denni:

£500 feels a bit like they have priced themselves out of a large market of casual outdoors folk to me...You can buy a BD double portaledge for only an extra £50 or so!

In reply to Ramblin dave:

exactly, will and sam are busy already, nother string and unique.

i reckon it's a top idea to add as an option. I reckon could be money maker from 'team building executive' type things but should put the price up a bit!
