All Day
abseiling
Hello adventurers,
Its time to take your abseil skills to the next level by learning how to set up an abseil and deploy various knots appropriately. You will also be introduced to prussiks and their applications. The aim of this skills session is to get you confident with rigging abseils and using various knots, hitches and prussiks to conduct yourself safely and efficiently through an abseiling event.
This will be a full day at Mount Portal Lookout in the lower Blue Mountains. Apart from taking your skills to the next level, there are some truly specatular views from the lookout.
If we have enough time and the weather permits, we will stop off at one of the beautiful pools in the park for a dip and a chillax!
Pre-requisites
– you must have done Abseil Skills 1 and attended some abseiling trips.
– If you haven’t done Abseil Skills 1, you must have attended verifiable abseil trips through the club.
Please state your abseiling experience in your registration. Note this is NOT an appropriate skills session for you if you’re not a confident abseiler.
You may use your own equipmemt although all equipment is also available through the club for you to use.
Successful applicants will be notified by Thursday the 28th of January or earlier if the trip fills up. We look forward to showing you some new skills and hopefully progressing your abseiling experience.
Cheers,
Dushy
