We are delighted to formally launch the Gers Abseil Challenge 2026. We are looking for 100 members from across the Club to abseil 150ft off the roof of Croke Park while taking in the panoramic views across the city. All funds raised will have a direct impact on the development and growth of our Club and its members. In addition, a share of the proceeds raised will be donated to Arc Cancer Care.
Abseil for The Gers!

Each participant must raise a minimum of €350 to participate on the day.
Is there an age restriction?
All participants must be over the age of 18 – but there are no upper limits!
What happens on the day of the abseil?
Each participant will be allocated a time slot for their abseil in advance of the day itself. There will be refreshments of tea and coffee provided and each participant may bring along 3 supporters on the day. We will provide more details about the day itself to all participants over the coming weeks.
We hope that we can get as many of our members as possible across our Club to get involved in this event.
