Plan

This trip is open to beginners who will learn how to abseil under the supervision of up-and-coming Trip Leaders. We will leave ANU sport at 8am on Sunday and drive to Wickerslack Ln. From there it is a quick walk to the crag overlooking the Queanbeyan River. Once there we will provide basic abseiling instruction for single and double ropes. The intent is to finish by 12:30.

Participants will need to collect the following gear from the gearstore before Sunday:

• Helmet


• Canyoning harness (with safety line)


• Belay device (Figure 8 or ATC)


• 2 locking carabiners

Trainee Trip Leaders will also need the above plus:

• 3rd locking carabiner


• 1 clipgate carabiner


• 120cm x 5mm prusik cord (looped)


• 120cm sling, or PAS, or short safety line

I will take care of group equipment.

There will be no pre-trip meeting. Please indicate if you have a car and are willing to drive and I will advise the other participants.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
