For the capacity building of Caving and Climbing members, we from Malikussaleh University's nature lovers organization continue to do regular exercise every week.
At 11:00 am, ,
and Wanda do small breafing for the preparation of exercise equipment. We will practice up and down ropes at waterfall Ceuraceuk Nisam Antara, North Aceh. We chose this location because it was close to basecamp.
Canyoning is one of the adventures down a steep cliff or waterfall using special tools and special abilities. For that need regular exercise to the field, so that the ability of members remain honed. Canyoning is also an extreme sport that puts forward ability, technique and mental.
The track was pretty steep, so we had to be careful when we went down to the waterfall. Until there we had lunch and played water first, considering the weather in our area was summer.
I am entrusted as Rigging (leader) and I as an Instructor will keep an eye on it.
It may seem easy to you, but do not ever do it if you do not have the ability in this field. Here's a description of the path that is ready to use to descend the waterfall.
- Man Anchor
- Back Anchor
- Friksi Anchor
I will explain a little about the three Ancor. Man Ancor is the main Anchor that holds the load directly, so in making this anchor must see the characteristics of the tree used. Back anchor is an anchor helper when the main anchor is broken, while the anchor friction to secure the rope so as not to rub the rock.
Once the path is completed, I check the safe path or not. We are ready to act down the waterfall one by one, following our action.
How dude, fun right? The waterfall we use for this exercise has a height of 12 meters, so safety remains our priority in this activity. Certainly very test andrenalin when down.
It was not until 15.30, we had to pack to go home. We will do this exercise this time, on the other hand we will come back here again.
All the equipment was packed, we went back to Basecamp.
Nature presents many rides to learn, depending on whether we can use it or not. Remember, science is needed in this activity. Keep your safety prioritized buddy?
Thank you for reading, hopefully useful and fun.
