Comment: Great time, classic Kiwi canyon. Doable in a 4/3mm but next time will use a 5/4mm for extra warmth margin. Last rappel has a rope to help access anchor, rope is in poor shape and should be replaced at some point.

Comment: extracts from Facebook posts, click link for full details (privacy restrictions may apply) " First trip off the season through Cross Creek yesterday day. All anchors in good condition aside from the rope anchor above the arch pool and the rope anchor on the arch itself both need to be replaced. Moderate flow in the canyon despite recent rain and snow. Assess water level for yourself and according to your experience and check all pools before jumping or sliding." KiwiCanyons.org
