Description
A nice, but not particularly deep canyon. A number of swims, 2 jumps into deep water and a 6m abseil ending in deep water (where you need to disconnect from the rope while treading water). Wetsuit recommended. The canyon section finishes at an 80m waterfall where we have lunch with spectacular views down the Grose Valley and (subject to temperature) a chance for a dip in one of the rock pools at the top of the waterfall. The exit track is along Fortress Ridge and again offers spectacular views down Govett Gorge and the Grose Valley. Suitable for new canyoners.
