EVENT DETAILS UPDATED 23/OCT !!!
Devils Pinch is a good quality canyon near the Newnes Campground. Track notes can be found on OzUltimate or in Jamieson’s guidebook. We start from the campsite and follow the Pipeline track up the big hill (no need to drive). A few abseils, some tricky. Grade 4 or 5.
This is an intermediate level trip, suitable for people who are confident at abseiling and have prior canyoning experience. When signing up, please leave a comment stating your canyoning experience (or you can find me on facebook and send me a message).
Bring all the usual canyoning gear. This includes:
- thermals (or a shorty wetsuit if you are willing to carry extra weight, but stay warmer)
- an extra layer, in case you get cold
- suitable shoes (enclosed, grippy, can get wet)
- lunch and snacks
- 2L to 3L of water
- head torch
- dry bag
- harness
- helmet
- descender and HMS carabiner
- personal safety (sling and locking carabiner)
- backpack to store everything
Other stuff that is worth bringing along if you have spare space in your backpack:
- wine
- cheese
- chocolate
- cake
- camera
- personal first aid kit
- prussiks and self rescue gear (if you know how to use them)
I will organise all the group equipment (ropes, first ad kit, emergency beacon, maps, self rescue gear, etc).
Feel free to ask me any questions 🙂
