Hey adventurers
Got that itching feeling of wanting to get back into a canyon? You’re not alone!
Tom and I are keen to kick off the season with an easy, beginner friendly canyon up at Mount Wilson this Saturday.
If you have completed AS1 and are keen to put your new skills to the test, come and join us for the “real thing”.
Prerequisites for this trip:
– You have completed AS1.
– Your fitness level is good and you’re confident that you can hike back up for an hour from the exit of the canyon.
– You are okay with cold water and can swim up to 50 metres through the canyon.
– You are available today and tomorrow by email to organise this trip as it’s fairly short notice. When you sign up, please indicate the wetsuit size you need (XS through to XL).
Things you need to bring:
– Closed shoes with good grip
– Any extra insulation layers that you want to wear, e.g. rash vest, Sharkskin etc.
– 2L of water
– Lunch and snacks – sugar is your friend to keep your energy levels up!
– A towel and a full change of clothes for when we get back to the cars
– Petrol money for drivers ($20)
– Any personal equipment you want to use in the canyon (harness, helmet, descender etc.)
Things the club can provide:
– Harness & PAS
– Helmet
– Descender
– Wetsuit
– Dry bag
– Canyoning backpack
For those that have a car, please let me know when you sign up. We might ask you to give other people a lift if required.
For those that need a lift, we’ll meet at 7am sharp at UTS Building 10, Jones Street in Ultimo. Alternatively, Tom can give you a lift from Glenbrook Station if that’s easier to reach for you.
There is no public transport to Mount Wilson.
Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!
Cheers
Tom & Birger
