Make the most of being up at Mt Wilson by ex ploring somewhere that you can only really access with technical rope skil ls - I honestly think the canyons are the most beautiful part of the Blue Mountains\, and this is your chance to explore a top-tier one! But first:  \nYou need to be approved for the main Boree Log event to attend these t rips. Please sign up for only ONE trip per day. If you get rejected you ca n 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.\n\nThis will be a big day - t hink 8+hrs start to finish - so you must have a high level of fitness\, an d some experience abseiling already (you don't need to have done a canyon before). Expect multiple abseils\, hiking on steep and slippery slopes\, a nd cold swims. We will likely only go with a party of 6 so we can move a l ittle faster. Have a look at the notes here: https://ozultimate.com/canyon ing/track_notes/bowens_creek_south.htm\, and if you're accepted\, it would be good to make sure you're familiar with them prior to the day. When app lying\, tell us if you have a car/how many spots (we will need to car shuf fle)\, how much abseiling/canyon experience you have\, and importantly\, w hether or not you think vegemite is disgusting.\n\n\n\nIt's critical that every person on this trip has the right gear:\n\nGear available to borrow from the club (this will all be brought to Boree Log\, you don't need to h ire beforehand):\n\n Harness\n Helmet\n 3x locking carabiners\n 1x Fig ure 8 / Descender\n 1x Safety sling\n Drybag\n Wetsuit\n Backpack tha t can fit ALL your gear and that can get wet (30L+)\n\nOther gear you MU ST bring:\n\n Clothing:\n\n Enclosed shoes with good grip\, suitable fo r water and bushwalking\n Thick wool or neoprene socks - you don't want f reezing cold feet all day\n Boardshorts to wear on top of wetsuit (compu lsory to protect the club wetsuits)\n Thermals and raincoat - important e xtra layers of warmth\n Optional: beanie and gloves (a beanie can be worn under your helmet for warmth\, and gloves for warmth and for abseiling).\ n Swimmers for under wetsuit\n NO COTTON! (this includes socks\, shirts \, pants\, undies\, etc)\n  A set of clothes to wear for the hike in an out - standard hiking clothes and hat\, preferably long sleeves and pants for sun/insect/snake protection\n\n\n Food:\n\n 2L of water\n An easy l unch\n Lots of high energy snacks to share \n\n\n Other:\n\n Any perso nal medication (asthma puffer\, Epipen etc)\n Sunscreen for the walk in and out.\n Headtorch + spare batteries - preferably a waterproof torch\n Very important: Emergency blanket – (can buy from Gear Cupboard for $5 or from chemists\, shops\, etc)\n\n\n\nIf you don't have everything liste d\, for your safety we won't be able to take you on the trip.\n\nIf you've read everything and feel like you'd be a good fit\, apply now!
