Beginners Canyon – Blue Mountains

Hey,

Mark and I are going to run a beginners canyon on the 6th of October, which is the Monday of the Labour Day long weekend. We’re thinking either Empress Canyon or if we can get an extra driver, a Mt Wilson canyon, probably Water Dragon. These are wet canyons and both contain abseils so abseiling experience is recommended but not necessary, we can teach/look after you, along with a reasonable level of fitness.

Gear:

• Helmet
• Harness
• Descender
• 2 x carabiner
• Safety Sling
• (All of which can be borrowed from the club)
• Wetsuit, the club has a few of these
• Wollen or synthetic socks
• Thermals
• Canyoning appropriate shoes (e.g. volleys)
• Backpack
• Drybag – one between three will do
• Half a day’s food and water
• Petrol Money
• A spare change of clothes

Please mention if you can drive, otherwise we’ll take the train up to Wentworth Falls Station and walk from there.

If you have any questions ask Mark Goodwin, or myself
