Hey guys,
In Week 2 of Term 2, we’re gonna run a Skills based training weekend. Our aim is to to upskill our TL’s and TLIT’s on skills required to lead trips, including skills from basic ropework to vertical rescue.
****Note, this event is still undergoing changes to its more spesific detailes. Stay posted for the most current info.

Details

The weekend will follow the rough format below, with majority of the theory occurring on Saturday. We’ll then give you the chance to practice these skills out on the rock or in a canyon on Sunday.

 

Below is a rough guide as to what workshops may run. Ofcourse it depends on the trainers avalibilities. Subject to change…

Saturday 1st Sunday 2nd
Canyoning Lvl 1 Workshop Climbing Lvl 1 Workshop Canyoning Lvl 1 Workshop Climbing Lvl 1 Workshop
Canyoning Lvl 2 Workshop Climbing Lvl 2 Workshop Canyoning Lvl 2 Workshop Climbing Lvl 2 Workshop

 

 

Participants will be assigned a group based on their response to the Trip Leader Progression Form, and will stay with their group the entire weekend.

An outline of the skills in each level can be found here UNSWOC Trip Leader Skillsets V2.

The format of each two day workshop is up to the discretion of the TLs running the workshops, and could include clifftop workshops, at location scenarios, or workshops at the campsite.

Number of participants depends on the number of TL’s available to help run the workshops.

 

Location still TBC, but most likly at cathedral of ferns in the blue mountains, both days. We will be camping there SAT evning aswell.
