On Sunday 21st we will be doing the mighty Claustral Canyon, one of the most impressive canyons in the Blue Mountains.
It is an advanced canyon and requires good fitness for the hike out, we will be aiming to move through it quickly, to avoid getting too cold. Please read the canyon description on the Oz Ultimate site (link below) to assess whether this is within your skill level and comfort zone.
It’s an 8 – 10 hour day, so will require a good level of endurance.
