Comments: Great canyon with super fun waterfall rappels. all bolted. the big one (actually 60 meters, not 70) we backed up with some webbing around a nearby root, as one of the bolts was moving a bit. had some rope pull issues on R3 and R5 and a rope got core shot on R5. Creeping ropes is a must here. The enclosed pool in the middle of R4 has a little escape hole that one could fit through after removing their backpack if necessary. Easier to just avoid it. Fortunately, the rock next to it is quite grippy, which is not the case for most other parts of the waterfall. The water gets spread out on all rappels but R5, so it's nothing challenging. I'd imagine this would be the case even at quite high flow. R5 had a roostertail at moderate flow. at the highest flows, this anchor might be hard to reach but you could still rap to the side of the flow if you manage to get to it. A great day!

Comment: Nice canyon in the area, with beautiful surrounding. Worth it specially after some rain. We heard otherwise there is not much water. Canyon is slippery because of clay and we had some trouble getting our ropes back on R60 and R35.
