SUMMARY:First Wave on the Fortress
DESCRIPTION:Hey everyone!\n\nDion and I will be running Fortress Canyon\, t
 he first beginner friendly canyon of the year on Saturday February 4th. Si
 gn up below. We\, the first wave\, will attack the Fortress at dawn\, whil
 e the enemy unwittingly sleeps... ie. we're getting up early! Do I hear 5:
 30am?\n\nDon't worry it'll be worth it\, a fun couple of jumps and abseil/
 jump plus beautiful views and hikes in and out make it a personal favourit
 e. We'll work out transport and stuff in a facebook message after I've app
 roved attendees.\n\nThe early start is so we still have sunlight while Dio
 n (since it's his turn this time) abseils off the waterfall at the end of 
 Fortress. Then ascends back up....\nSo bring a book/a pack of cards/someth
 ing to do when you're warm and dry eating lunch while Dion battles a water
 fall.\n\nYou must be a current member of the club to sign up\, join online
  today!\n\nLOWDOWN\n\nTo get an idea of how things will work and the logis
 tics of how to end up in dry underwear:\n\nThere's a hike to the canyon\, 
 you need a backpack to hold drybag\, wetsuit\, lunch\, water\, harness\, h
 elmet etc. When we get to it's start we change into wetsuits and harnesses
  with board shorts over the wetsuit to protect it (and keep your swimmers 
 or undies on under the wetsuit if you like) You put dry stuff like your sh
 irt into dry bags (which have your lunch in them) and put your helmets on.
 \n\nWe then go through the fun waterland of the canyon. Keep snacks and wa
 ter handy.\nWe'll stop for lunch at some point.\n\nAt the very end we chan
 ge out of wetsuits back into the dry shirt/clothes (boardies and undies/sw
 immers will still be wet though!) to hike back.\nThen hopefully you left d
 ry bottoms/shorts/undies/towel in the car and you can change back into the
 m then. Thongs are a must too\, for happiness.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nGEAR\n\nWhat 
 you'll need.\n\n- Backup dry thermal/non-cotton jumper to bring in dry bag
 \n\n- Wetsuit and board shorts:\n\nWetsuit can be borrowed from the club. 
 Can also wear a thermal (brought in addition to the dry one) under the wet
 suit to be warmer. Wear swimmers or undies under the wetsuit and have boar
 dies to wear over the wetsuit to protect it.\n\n-Harness\, Belay Plate\, H
 elmet\n\nAll can be borrowed from the club\,  go to the gear cupboard you
 rself on Wednesday evening (gear night)\n\n- Woolen Socks and Enclosed sho
 es\n\n- At least 2L Water\, lots of snacks and lunch\n\n- Backpack and dry
  bag:\n\nBring a backpack that you don’t mind getting wet\, and one that
  can also hold your wetsuit\, at least 2L of water and your drybag which w
 ill hold lunch/snacks and some dry clothes.\nDrybags are waterproof bags t
 hat go in your backpack\, there's usually space to share one between two b
 ut ask around first to make sure.\n\n- Torch:\n\n- Dry clothes to change i
 nto back at car.\n\nFeel free to ask us any questions.\nCheers\,\nBrendan 
 and Dion
