Nice easy half-day canyon trip. Fairly open, granite waterfalls. Low volume, so not many pools. Highlights are a nice 50m waterfall and a jump into the Buller river to finish!
First descent: Benoit Gourgues, Richard Bramley, 11 Jun 17. Thanks to Richard for the CanyonTopo

Replaced R6’s maillon anchor with a ring, hopefully will lessen risk of stuck rope. Pretty awesome trip even for intermediate canyoners. Could be spicy with higher flows
All replacement and repairing gear provided by Canyoning Aotearoa. Well appreciated
We gave White Creek a bit of refreshment by changing all slings anchors.
Took us longer than expected due to filming . But overall nice trip, and the 50 is definitely a goodie 🙂
You can count a good 15/20 min from the bottom of the 50m back to road.
Update 1/1/20
Great scenic little canyon! Last two pitches have double bolted anchors on both TL & TR. Perhaps this is being used as a training venue? Overkill nonetheless.
Bombs into the Buller was the perfect way to start 2020,
Somehow managed to leave behind one Uniden pocket 2 way radio, a hat, a black 120cm sling and carabiner on 9/1/19!! If you find them and are feeling well disposed towards those with attention impairment, please give me a ring on 0275 346468, thanks. Great canyon!
