Canyon Experience :
     

A moderate walk-in. Old rusty double bolted anchor and newer triple bolted anchor on TL. Plenty of ghost anchors on TR. Done in medium flow. Solid smooth rock. Sections of overhangs, pools and decent slab.

TL is mostly dry abseil, TR is in the flow. It is possible to abseil only 140m and walk-off.

Short & steep walk back up on TL.
