SATURDAY BL – Canyoning Trip to Geronimo!

SATURDAY BOREE LOG – BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE CANYONING TRIP TO GERONIMO

Kieran and I (Maria) will be leading a beginner/intermediate canyoning trip on SATURDAY for Boree Log. We will explore the beautiful Geronimo canyon in the Wollangambe River (find all the details here: https://ozultimate.com/canyoning/track_notes/geronimo.htm). You must be approved for Boree Log to attend.

The plan is to drive from the campground where we are camping on Friday night (Cathedral Reserve at Mount Wilson) to the start of the hike in (2 min drive, convenient hey?), hike to the entrance of the canyon, put the wetsuits on, scramble down the river, complete the 5 abseils and swims in the canyon, and hike back to the car for a nice free dinner at the campground. It will be an awesome day out and you will need:

• To be fit (6-8 hours workout), know how to swim and know how to abseil. Tick off the 3 of them.
• Canyoning gear: A harness*, a helmet*, a locking carabiner* attached to an ATC*, a second locking carabiner* attached to a safety sling*, and a third locking carabiner* attached to a prusik cord*. Also a wetsuit*, a drybag*, a torch (preferably headtorch), and a backpack that can fit ALL your gear in and that can get wet (* = club will provide it).
• For clothing: Enclosed shoes with good grip, wollen socks, boardshorts to wear on top of the wetsuit (this is compulsory if you borrow the wetsuit from the club, to protect it), warm clothes such as thermals/raincoat that you’ll put in your dry bag (in case we get stuck you need to carry something warm and dry).
• For eating: 2 l of water, food or snacks, chocolate for the trip leaders please.
• Other gear: sunscreen, medicines if you need them (asthma puffer, etc), a pair of flipflops to leave in the car (since your shoes will get wet), and a phone full of battery.
