EASY ACCESS BIG CANYONING

thought youd never see those words in the same sentence huh?

another guide has spilled the beans on his secret project and we are off to work the anchors out next week.
this is BIG. about 15 significant waterfalls, with lots of small ones in between, about 1000m of descent and almost NO WALK IN.
think about it - all the tech stuff and multiple descents without having to haul all the gear 1000m up.

cant wait to see the place in winter.

for now just got some old photos and a hand drawn topo from a japanese sawa nobori guy, but more after when weve taken our own.

heres what we have to go by:


from the topo theres 20 falls, about a third of them higher than 15m. this makes it an ideal first big canyon or somewhere to dial in your descending technique before launching into the multiday stuff.

stay tuned for when we get back.
