BOREE LOG SATURDAY: Intermediate Canyoning – Jerrara Creek

TRIP FULL

Hey guys,

Vicky and I will be running an intermediate canyon to Jerrara Creek on the Saturday of Borree Log (Canyon Description here).

(image taken from another UNSWOC event: (read here)

Expect this to be a LONG day of about 10 hours, abseiling, jumps, scrambling and walking in possible cold/wet conditions. You must be competent with vertical abseiling, and have done at least 2 wet canyons previously. Due to weather, we were unable to scout the canyon out previously, so expect a longer than normal canyon due to navigation.

Places are limited to 4 people.

WHAT TO BRING:

• Dry bag (can be purchased from an outdoors store – or maybe borrow off a member in the club)
• Helmet*
• Harness*
• ATC*
• Safety Sling*
• 2 x locking carabiners*
• Enclosed shoes that you can walk in while wet
• Warm socks (NOT cotton)
• Wetsuit*
• Shorts to go over your wetsuit
• Water (at least 2L)
• Headtorch (and some kind of backup light)
• Warm clothes (bring a dry set of thermals)
• Backpack to carry stuff in
• Food to last the whole day (including some snacks to share)

*Can borrow from the club for FREE on Saturday morning.

Let us know if you have any questions and message us with your experience.

You will need to be signed up the main boree log event to come on this trip!

Cheers,

Eamonn
