1st big abseil (the double drop through the ‘marked’ shallow pool) (also the classic photo of the canyon) has changed. The top (false) floor by the bolts has dropped a metre or so, and all the gravel that was up there has filled in the ‘shallow pool’ halfway down the abseil. Which means its now a small dry step onto the bottom half. There is another shallow pool way down near the bottom, but it’s nothing crazy.
