Descended just the top few pitches 30/3/25. First one descended off two good quality bolts, rigged an abseil on a couple of others and removed some degraded tat from one. Water level fairly low.
Descended on 22/02/25. Water levels moderate, heavy rain in preceding days but water levels very manageable. In (@620m ASL) 1h15m, down 3h30m, out 10m. Adventurous feeling canyon with impressive situations and some great pitches.
A lot of evidence of bolt chopping in the canyon, as noted in description quality of removal was very poor with some bolts bent & hammered over making it look like a complete mess. Some bolts have been removed further since last topo update (July 2023). Some abseils are now off piles of rotting tat, rusty maillons and rusty carabiners, unsure how this is now less of an eyesore than a couple of subtly placed bolts! In addition, in the middle section some bolts have been removed forcing you to walk around shorter pitches onto the gorge sides where it’s more likely that rare plants will get damaged.
Ghosting equipment necessary in some parts, also would recommend bringing enough tat to rig a few abseils. One of the drilled threads in the lower section wouldn’t fit furry 10mm rope so bring something thinner.
Descended on 16/8/24, water was moderate. (In – 45 mins, Down 1hr 45 mins, Out 5 mins. Canyon is in good condition overall, it had heavy rain the day before however it had drained well overnight. One hanger was missing in the middle section of the canyon. The last DC is a little tricky, could be better as a pitch?
