Howdy peeps!

This one is for all you cave-dwellers and canyon swimmers out there who want to hone in or start learning about single rope techniqe (SRT)!

SRT is our main method of accessing vertical caves, so this day is necessary for anyone who would like to explore some of our more advanced trips later in the year. We will be meeting with Chris Curtis who is part of the NSW cave rescue squad and the training and safety officer of the Sydney Speleological Society. He will be giving us a complete guide on SRT - equipment, skills, safety, what to buy and more. After this, you will get a chance to practice skills in an overhung environment just like you would caving. 

For any canyoners, Chris has a vast knowledge of canyoning which he is more than happy to share. You will also get the chance to practice ascension.

As mentioned previously, attendence on this trip or a similar training day will be mandatory for future intermediate and advanced trips so best get in now with the pro!

More details will come, in the meantime get keen and get dirty at Timor!
