Saturday BL – Canyon (Intermediate)

Canyon TBA (Depending on weather and group experience)

Nadav will run a canyon/chasm with a series of technical abseils, beautiful scenery!

What you need to know? Expect a great day canyoning for around 8+ hrs round trip, a walk up the river at the end, and an easy roped climb to exit (or scramble depending on canyon).

Essential gear:

• Space blanket/emergency blanket (mandatory!).
• Headlamp (mandatory) w/ batteries
• Lunch/snacks and water (1.5L) for 8 hrs of potential canyoning. Fueling yourselves is essential
• Spare dry clothes/thermals/jumper/beanie
• Dry bag to keep electronics/spare clothes warm.
• Rain Coat. Provides wind protection and is crucial
• Appropriate clothing – no cotton – when wet it loses heat fast! Think hiking clothes with boardies/swim shorts to protect wetsuit from damage.
• Shoes with good grip and suitable for water – trainers with warm socks.
• Wet-suit (BYO if you have one, else borrow from Boree Log Gear Pool)
• Wet-suit booties/gloves (It will be cold in Autumn). Woollen socks are an ok but nowhere near as good backup
• Helmet (BYO if you have one, else borrow from Boree Log Gear Pool)
• Harness (BYO if you have one, else borrow from Boree Log Gear Pool)
• Descender/ Figure 8 and Karabiner (BYO if you have one, else borrow from Boree Log Gear Pool)
• Safety Sling and Karabiner (BYO if you have one, else borrow from Boree Log Gear Pool)
• +30L backpack to keep your drybag/gear. Expect it to get wet/scratched.
• Any medication/medical devices you need.

You must also be Approved for the main Boree Log Event.
