This Sunday I’ll be heading to Whirlpool Canyon. It’s an intermediate level canyon near Mt Wilson (Cathedral of Ferns). I haven’t been before, but it sounds like a good trip.
Trip cap is between 4 and 6, depending on how many people are willing to drive (let me know if you can). Prior abseiling and canyoning experience is essential. If I haven’t canyoned with you before, let me know about your canyoning experience.
Bring all the usual canyoning gear, including a wetsuit and lilo. If someone is able to borrow ropes from the locker, that would be great (I can’t make gear nights).
We’ll aim to leave Cathedral of Ferns around 8:30am (to be confirmed). Sunset is at 6pm so bring your head torch!
Track notes:
Grade 5. One long day. Abseils up to 25m. Walk from Mt Wilson Fire Station to the Wollangambe, and up the Geronimo Canyon entry track. Enter the creek around GR 529921 (Wollangambe). Exit by following the Wollangambe downstream to where you entered. There are some long swims in the Wollangambe (bring lilos).
