Descended on 9/8/24. Team of 3. It had been raining for several days prior so levels in the area were up, attempted a descent in the hope the dam would make this normal levels rather than high however the flow was far to high to attempt a full descent using the anchors we had. If bolted well, this canyon could have still been descended. walk in took just over 1hr (brisk walking) 1hr down and 1hr out. The canyon section itself is quite interesting with each feature leading to the next, it’s a shame it’s a long approach and exit otherwise it would be much more repeatable.
