Summary
Foot entrapment in crack on CL on P7 old anchors forced a newer canyoner into the flow of water, there’s a v shaped crack behind that a canyoner got their shoe stuck in. Managed to pop shoe off and continue abseiling. Looked as tho canyoner was stuck in medium flow so rope was cut (newer canyoner was on a top belay) to drop them out of flow but issue was a foot entrapment. Spare tag line was used to make up the rope difference
