Nadav Cohen

Canyon TBA (Depending on weather and group experience)

Nadav will run a canyon/chasm with a series of technical abseils, beautiful scenery!

What you need to know? Expect a great day canyoning for around 8+ hrs round trip, a walk up the river at the end, and an easy roped climb to exit (or scramble depending on canyon).

Essential gear:

  • Space blanket/emergency blanket (mandatory!).
  • Headlamp (mandatory) w/ batteries
  • Lunch/snacks and water (1.5L) for 8 hrs of potential canyoning. Fueling yourselves is essential
  • Spare dry clothes/thermals/jumper/beanie
  • Dry bag to keep electronics/spare clothes warm.
  • Rain Coat. Provides wind protection and is crucial
  • Appropriate clothing – no cotton – when wet it loses heat fast! Think hiking clothes with boardies/swim shorts to protect wetsuit from damage.
  • Shoes with good grip and suitable for water – trainers with warm socks.
  • Wet-suit (BYO if you have one, else borrow from Boree Log Gear Pool)
  • Wet-suit booties/gloves (It will be cold in Autumn). Woollen socks are an ok but nowhere near as good backup
  • Helmet (BYO if you have one, else borrow from Boree Log Gear Pool)
  • Harness (BYO if you have one, else borrow from Boree Log Gear Pool)
  • Descender/ Figure 8 and Karabiner (BYO if you have one, else borrow from Boree Log Gear Pool)
  • Safety Sling and Karabiner (BYO if you have one, else borrow from Boree Log Gear Pool)
  • +30L backpack to keep your drybag/gear. Expect it to get wet/scratched.
  • Any medication/medical devices you need.
