Highest drop 15m
3 hrs of canyoning, located a 30 minute boat ride and 4hr hike from the nearest road!
Public access
A very impressive, super slotted chasm, over 50m deep in places. Not very long or
steep, but still an incredible canyon that is very committing. It is best done over a
day and a half by overnighting at the nearby hut.
Thanks to Richard Bramley for the topo, videos and photos.

Our trip times were from the west sabine hut. Its about 4-5 hour walk in from the end of lake rotoroa. We put in double ring anchors for pitch 1 & 2. Pitch three was a down climb on the TR right against the wall, there is a small hole under a boulder. Over all a very special canyon, worth the effort on the approach. We had to use head torches in the middle of the day, the slot is so deep and narrow!
For sure… Just need to find enough keen (crazy) people to join the expedition!
