1 Star Canyons

Lower Trovatore Canyon v3a1II*

Posted by Dan Clearwater on 01/09/202501/09/2025

10m max drop ( 1x30m rope)

2hr return trip

Public access

A short but sweet canyon with three small pitches and a narrow gorge. Worth it as a stopover on the way through Lewis Pass, or in conjunction with other canyons in the area, but probably not as a trip in its own right.

First descent Christian Miller and Ben Fletcher, Aug 2025.
