Hi there! I (Nadav) will be running a trip down Macquarie Pass Canyon this weekend. Macquarie Pass is a warm(ish) wide open, pretty canyon with some mega abseils! It will be a longish day, but thankfully we end at the car, yay!
This trip requires a car shuffle so we need at least 2 drivers to be able to go.
This trip is aimed to train for rigging and to help the attendees become independent canyoners. Priority will be given to people who have been on a training session with me (or if it was with someone else, just let me know)
As we will all be training to rig, we’ll likely be going a little slow but that’s ok!
What to bring:
- Harness *
- Helmet *
- Figure 8 Device *
- Descender of Choice
- 2 locking biners *
- Prussik and biner *
- Safety sling and biner *
- Wetsuit *
- Thermals
- Emergency blanket (can be purchased for $5 from the gear cupboard)
- Sunscreen
- First aid kit (if you have one)
- Lunch
- Snacks
- 2L of water minimum
- Dry clothes
- Thermals
- Drybag
- Backpack (25-40L)
- Enclosed shoes for canyoning
- Dry shoes (sandals/thongs are great)

*you can get from the gear cupboard on gear night if you don’t have it
