30.08.25 – Team of 2 descent, fun and pretty canyon to descend with some good features. DO NOT jump first pool, chest-shoulder deep at best, looks like it’s filled in, newish looking Ab point RR to get down instead. Bolts to protect down climb to boulder RR also. Slide pool still goes as did the jumps into that pool. Awkward ab to get to the top of the main falls, bolts very high RL or awkward pull down RR. Stayed RL for the main falls off the tree as only 1 hangar RR (as mentioned in previous comments). Such a cool abseil on that side of the falls anyway, but there is a log jammed near the bottom of the fake arch. Got out after the falls, if you were to continue downstream looks like the ab point down from there could do with some fresh tat and mallions.
9/6/25 – good levels, colder than expected. First pool only chin deep so we didn’t jump. Slide (and big jump RR/TR) still go no problem. Main falls we went RL/TL on the still decent tat round tree. Mono option on RR/TR but it’s buddy has blown.
Fun decent on 18/04/1986 team of 3. no flow.
Jump pools and slide pool are clear. Bolt and hanger still missing TR on the big abseil, but TL is definitely a better decent.
A short but sweet canyon
Medium flow today. Lots of excellent jumping spots that can be repeated as the canyon is quite escapable. A big tree is down mid canyon forming a cave like feature below the roots
Descended on 07/08/24. Team of 3. Water was high(ish) good trip, definitely get out after the big drops, the long gorge scramble to a slippery 4m abseil isn’t worth it! the consistent nature of the main canyon makes it a worthwhile trip. Careful of the sharp edge if using the A1 abseil on the TR.
Large fallen tree across canyon mid way down (by down climb a couple of pools before the falls) – currently easy to climb under if it stays put! Incredibly dry with some stale pools. 06/06/24
From Facebook on October 14th 2023: Back to low levels with toboggan and jump pools clear.
Anchors seem okay and lower gorge section has been cleaned out by the flood.
We descended Falls of Acharn today (09.09.2023). The abseil that is 25m in the guidebook is rather 32m (!) We had a 60m rope and had to use slings to prolong it, for retrieval. All orotection good, some mallions very rusty.
