Itinerary description
Approach ~50 mins
Descent ~2.5 hours
Hike to car ~ 15 mins
Parking is free but get there early to secure a good spot and get ahead of the guided groups. We ended up waiting a long time for groups to rappel down to the start. And then waited more for groups to go, and put some space between us.
There is a short wire walk traverse before rappelling into the river at the start. It’s nice to have a couple slings and caribeaners to connect to the wire.
Then rappel into the river basin to start the descent. Depending on water flow there are 2-3 rappels in the descent with bolted anchors.
Gear needed:
Helmet
Wetsuits
Harness/rope/rappel gear
Slings/via ferrata gear
