โYou need to be approved for the main Boree Log event to attend these trips. Please sign up for only ONE trip per day. If you get rejected you can then sign up for another trip, this just makes it easier for volunteer trip leaders. Please be aware that as the weather is unpredictable, trip leaders may need to alter trips accordinglyโ
Join Alex & I (Phoebe) in Ranon and start Boree Log off the right way (in a canyon)!
This is an intermediate canyon so you’ll need to have some canyoning experience and be confident abseiling. This is a wet canyon and we’ll be swimming up to 50m in the dark so you’ll need to have strong swimming abilities. Experience with scrambling & good physical fitness are also required since it’ll be a long day.
We will meet at Cathedral Reserve at 7:30am – consider driving up & camping Friday night. If you have a car please let us know how many spots you have. So we know you’ve read the whole post answer this in your comment: What is your go to canyon snack?
