Comments: Great day out and a beautiful spot. Nice setups for anchors. Had a couple of rope jams, wouldn’t be a bad idea to feed out from a rope bag to avoid snags. Water flow at Orange grove was about 125ML/d, there was a bit of flow in Bangalore but manageable. Hike out was easier than expected, after a short scramble it looked like we were on an old logging track. Recommended.

Comment: First time decent for us. Waterflow pretty low but still very nice. River gauge at 53ML. The abseils through the holes where a bit interesting. Wished I had read about the additional bolts on R5 as the abseil behind the log was pretty challenging as you can't see where you are going due to the waterflow. A fair bit of care is needed in rope pull down on a number of drops so you don't get the rope stuck. Updated the wiki page to note some heights that need updating on the topo. Took a 65m and 40m rope plus fiddlestick with pullcord. Had a problem on a few drops with the 40m doubled because the topo had a few heights that were incorrect.
Really beautiful canyon, highly recommend.
