Barrack Creek is a steep, aquatic and vertical alpine descent. Polished rocks, deep green pools, the back to back nature of the waterfalls, and the fantastic end series of rappels makes this a classic three-star canyon. Make sure you have suitable experience and a strong team.

Our second trip through Barracks. Found much better access. However, no getting around; it’s a long walk.
All the bolted anchors ex 2019 are in good condition. Almost all of the anchor sling was replaced; however, come prepared with your own.
The topo has been updated to reflect our experiences combined with another group that has been through recently.
It’s a great outing, best-experienced mid-summer.
