Canyon Experience :

Descended on 18.7.24.
Not destined to become a classic but nice to explore part of a remote glen and escape the shit fest of tourism that Lochaber is in July!
Top half has all the best abseils, the exit wasn’t super obvious with high bracken but a fence is visible on Left where the main action has finished, roughly 127838.
Found one in situ anchor on a big tree river left on probably the biggest abseil, everything else ghostable.
