- | Gear | + | === Gear. === |
On summer trips, you can use a lightweight sleeping bag, and you do not need an elaborate tent. However, there are some items of gear that are needed to enable you to float or abseil, and to keep warm in cold water. Little sunlight reaches into the deeper canyons, and while Sydney is experiencing its hottest day of the summer, the water in Claustral Canyon and Bell Creek will be icy cold. Most other creeks are not as cold, but can still be chilly if the weather is overcast and you've been in most of the day. | On summer trips, you can use a lightweight sleeping bag, and you do not need an elaborate tent.

Most other creeks are not as cold, but can still be chilly if the weather is overcast and you've been in most of the day. | ||
- | LI-LO: For serious li-b trips, a rubberised cotton li-lo must be used. These are also sometimes called rubberised canvas. The nylon types are OK for a day trip down the main stretch of the Wollangambe, | ||
- | ABSEILING GEAR: Standard gear for canyons is a harness or suitable tapes from which to make one (most people find 2m of 50mm flat tape plus 1.5m of 25mm tubular tape OK), plus gloves, 2 large D-karabiners and a brake bar (such as a piton). Other abseiling devices (such as figure-8 descenders) are not so useful because they need to be detached from the harness in order to remove the rope. | ||
- | ROPE: Abseils are almost always double-roped. lOmm static rope is suitable. | ||
- | WETSUIT: For Claustral and other very cold canyons. Also useful on any river trip to improve your comfort in less-than-ideal weather. You do not need a scuba- type heavy wetsuit. A light surfer' | ||

There was discussion on the weight a pack should be, and a maximum of 10 kg for prospectives new to walking was suggested. It was felt to be advisable for leaders to weigh packs and assist in removal of excessive contents before starting out. The weight of packs needs to be kept to a reasonable minimum in case of accident and the need to split a pack for others to carry out. | There was discussion on the weight a pack should be, and a maximum of 10 kg for prospectives new to walking was suggested.
