Comments: 23 ML/d = V5A3 conditions.

Good to do this canyon in low flow for the first time. Did not use a car shuffle - 3h walk up a parallel ridge south of Never Never River. Doubled up bolts at R9-a and R10-a as anchors were damaged due to a landslide.

Comment: 27 ML/d flow = V5A3 conditions.

All anchors are now double bolted and even some traverse lines have redundant bolting to provide redundancy against flood damage.

Many of the redirect bolts now have stainless steel carabiners permanently attached however not all. Make sure to bring sacrificial snap gate carabiners or be prepared to rig retrievable redirects to avoid leaving hardware behind.

The P11 traverse and anchor, which was impacted by rockfall/landslide, has been rebooted.

Comment: A team lead by Leo Tregret. 114 ML/d on the 205019 Never Never Creek at Old Crossing river gauge. Considered to be high water level in canyon and required advanced rigging skills (e.g. releasable redirects etc).

Report by Alexmotyka who was not part of Leo's team. Documenting for benefit of other canyoners.

Comment: Water level 50 ML/D on NN @old crossing during descent. Good intro flow for none of us having done the canyon before. Used combination of both wet and dry lines and 2 redirects.

Anchor conditions: about 50% of anchors damaged as a result of flood or galvanic corrosion. Now fixed. Carrying a drill and metal is essential.
