Grade:4/6 | Length | 5km | 100m | Sydney Branch | |
Mark G. | |||||
(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Deep Pass Canyon is quite possibly the easiest wet canyon you can do and you can normally manage to stay dry for most of of this trip if you are agile. Even then you'll only normally get wet up to your waist.
There are no abseils but there are quite a few places where you need to haul yourself up short length ropes. Along the way you'll encounter many small and stunning waterfalls and cascades where a swim is certainly worthwhile experiencing! Before the canyon we will do a short sidetrip to the impressive Split Rock which has some interesting tunnels within its imposing structure. Rock scrambling and slippery bits.

(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Wollangambe 2 is a canyoners delight but without abseils. You'll need a good lilo/surfmat or airbed and a wetsuit and a flotation device is also a good idea. Expect plenty of beautiful canyon sections where you'll paddle and several walk through sections over rocks. People coming should be good at rock scrambling and not afraid of water!
Adrian Barden will be the 2nd leader assisting graham groves Rock scrambling between the pools. Location: Wollemi NP Map: Wollangambe 89312S Limit: 8. View |
