A simple very short slot canyon with a surprising amount of vertical. Three abseils in short succession, all with somewhat “challenging” starts. The second abseil is the highlight: a descent in a dark slot lined with a few ferns!
Wetsuits are optional but be advised that the pools at the bottom of some of the waterfalls can waist-deep.
A faint track exists along most of the route in (if following GPX)
