[FULL] SATURDAY BL – TIGERSNAKE Canyon [Dry/Beginner]

Juri and I (Maddi) are leading a trip on the Saturday of Boree Log through Tiger Snake Canyon!

Tiger Snake Canyon is a narrow, twisting tributary on the Newnes Plateau. It features two constrictions and a couple of abseils. The lower is deep, dark and spectacular.

More info and pics can be found here: ozultimate.com/…ack_notes/tiger_snake.htm

You 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 accordingly

This is a dry canyon so don’t expect to get too wet, but expect at least wet feet/legs. It will still be chilly however so bring warm clothes. e.g. Thermals beneath your clothes with a rain jacket on top.

It’s alright if you have not abseiled before, we can show you the ropes but please indicate in the comment box whether you have abseiled before and how experienced you are, we will try have a balance of people.

What to Expect:

• 10kms of bush bashing and lots of walking up and down
• Abseiling and heights!
• Beautiful slot canyons
• Hopefully no tiger snakes!
• Knee deep wading

Please fill out the form when you sign up and comment with your experience (if you don’t have rope skills, just comment what other outdoor activities you have done) whether you have access to a car and the name of your most beloved childhood stuffed toy.
