canyoning
Hi all,
Trip can only go ahead IF we have enough CARS with a HIGH CLEARANCE
Participants with said cars will be given preference. Please mention this in the sign information
Info about the canyon https://ozultimate.com/canyoning/track_notes/rocky_creek.htm
PLEASE NOTE: You should be able to swim, tolerate the cold, jump from boulders into the water and be calm around snakes 😉 If I don’t know you personally, please outline your canyoning / abseiling / climbing/ hiking experience in the field below.
What to expect:
– Some creek walking through the canyon
– Many cold swims
– Jumps and slides into the water
– Steep hike out
Prerequisites:
– Able to swim in COLD water
– Not afraid of heights
– Good level of fitness to carry a heavy backpack and hike uphill without holding back the group)
– Comfortable in going to the bathroom in the bush – should you need to
What the club can provide:
– Canyoning gear: wetsuits, canyon packs, drybags, gloves, helmets
What you need to bring:
1. Grippy shoes (dunlop volleys are great, but you can bring any grippy shoes that you don’t mind using in the water; shoes should be closed – no flip-flops!)
2. Wool socks
3. Wind-proof jacket (nylon rain or spray jacket) + dry thermals in the dry bag
4. Food for the day and 2-3L of water
5. Old shorts to protect the wetsuit
6. Dry clothes and shoes to change into after we walk out of the canyon

11. Garbage bag and toiletries if you intend to go to the bathroom
*HINT: any of the above can be bought really cheaply from K-Mart / Target / Chemist Warehouse.
