06/03/25 General Ropework Workshop @ The Ledge

Hi all,

I will be running a General Ropework Workshop on the 6th of March (Thursday), starting at 4.30pm at THE LEDGE.

The workshop is open to anyone who’d like to improve their learning/ knowledge of ropes and is the first step to the trip leader pathway in the respective canyoning/caving/climbing specializations.

Learning items will consist of items within this booklet (General Rope Sports Manual – UNSW Outdoors Club)

● General knots such as figure eights, hitches, stoppers, alpine butterfly, etc.
● Rope management/ coiling and storage of ropes (photo example below)
● Equipment care, visual and tactile assessment/ inspection of PPE
● Outdoors safety, communication techniques, general risk assessment and what to be aware on during trips.

If we have time, I’ll also bring 2 ropes access kits to demonstrate some ascending/ descending.
