[WJ Palooza] SUNDAY – Gong (Beginner)

Sign up for ONE Saturday and ONE Sunday trip. If you do not get accepted on your first choice trip then you may sign up for a different one. (Same format as Boree Log!). You must be signed up to this main event to sign up to individual trips

Signups Open at 8pm Monday 14th

Enjoy a short ladder pitch into one of the prettiest caves in Wee Jasper. You will need to crawl down a narrow passage and climb up some muddy slopes to access “Gong Room”, where you can enjoy some excellent decorations. On your way back out you can challenge yourself with some optional squeezes before climbing out and racing the other groups back to the showers. 

Gong is suitable for anyone fit. There is no ropework required. The ladder requires some strength to negotiate but it is well worth it.

Gear that can be borrowed on the day of:

Please let us know in the comments what gear you are missing from this list. Do NOT borrow these items from the gear cupboard – the club will bring this equipment directly to Wee Jasper (similar to Boree Log!).

Caving Gear:

• Helmet

BYO Gear

• • Caving Clothes (overalls, or OLD long pants and long sleeve shirt – The club will bring some overalls, but these are not guaranteed to fit you!)
  • Thermals to wear in cave under clothes
  • 2x Headlights + spare batteries
    • For those who have rechargeable headlights – I recommend bringing a powerbank. The cold can drain the batteries overnight
