Notes

Description

Approach by Car: - Approach by foot: - Canyon entry: Canyon descent: 4 abseils are mostly short but 3rd one is longest. Some scrambling along the beck required and a couple of drops that don't have many suitable anchors forcing you to walk around. A couple of jumping opportunities but generally escapable and watch out for slippy rock. Exit: - Escapes: - First Decent: - In higher water levels some landing pools are lightly to have some flow so grade may be slightly higher than V3 A2.
