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 cool 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:
– You have to be comfortable swimming in cold water
– You should not be afraid of heights
– You should have a good level of fitness to carry a heavy backpack and hike uphill without holding back the group)
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. Woolen 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
7. Any thermals / underwear you wear under the wetsuit (preferably synthetic not to make you cold)
8. Emergency blanket (can be bought from Officeworks or outdoors stores)
9. Headtorch
10. Long compression bandages
*HINT: any of the above can be bought really cheaply from K-Mart / Target / Chemist Warehouse.
