SUNDAY BL – Canyon (Beginner/Intermediate)

Canyon TBA (Depending on weather – if inclement it will be a fun technical abseiling trip)

Zee, Jayden and Brendan 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 a scramble to exit.

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
