Comment: R4 has logs jammed in the forward crack. Rope highly likely to get stuck when pulled with forward angle at the end of the pitch. Last person to go down must stop in the ‘cave’ and pull the rope straight down, then down climb the last three meters into shallow pool in the slot.

Comment: 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.
