Description

Park at car park before gate in swindale ( signs ban vehicles beyond) 5.5km walk in. Mix of ghosting and tat ( often at water level so expect to replace) Suitable anchors found on first descent and no bolts were needed, if this changes be warned rock sounded hollow/ crumbly often where a bolt would be wanted. Water dropping through strainers in parts, hidden in small pools so watch your legs and ropes. Enclosed in upper parts, escape would be tricky. Page information - Oli Martin

Canyon Experience :

Descended on 8/2/2026 team of 4 in high flow.
A brilliant canyon, has a beautiful bit of encasement. Some anchors had taken a beating in the flow, we replaced one near the end but would advise carrying anchor building materials. Some rope snag on a few pitches in the higher flow but mybe not so bad in normal conditions.
