Notes

River name: Allt Ban/ All Bhan First main waterfall (45m ish depend where you stop) has now been bolted, but rope drag remains an issue. Linking the bolts with chain/ mallions and placing a big ring/ mallions as a master point may reduce drag. It is possible to start before this drop, however this is a worthwhile pitch if you can pull the rope down. Several nasty tree chokes can be found lower down in the canyon. Both experienced and beginner canyoneers have had 'epics' in this canyon. Only attempt in low to moderate flow.

Description

To approach this canyon, navigate your way up through the forest and onto the mountain side until it gets less steep, then head towards the river. You can either start directly at the big waterfall (see notes) or drop down just before it. From here you'll find lots of abseils and difficult down climbs, some of which may need anchor placements. Several short slides and jumps can be found. The canyon finishes at the parking. Page Information - Sol Armer
