Party: Sydney Bushwalking Club led by Terry Moss
Grade: 3, very easy with no swimming involved, headtorch needed
Track notes: It's day 2 of the Australia Day long weekend with SBW and we head off along the very same track we used the day before to get to Devil's Pinch Canyon. Climbing that hill the second time around wasn't as fun as you knew exactly what you were in for. This time we walked much further along the track (and didn't bush bash) as this canyon started on a ridge further than Devil's Pinch.
After some navigational issues we got to the first abseil- in my opinion it would be very difficult to get to without an experienced navigator. However we did come to an obvious T intersection and veered to the left of the ridge (this is all I can remember).
There were 3 longish abseils in this canyon- with it being very open (unlike other canyons being narrow and dark). The third abseil was down a very slippery and mossy waterfall.
At the bottom of this canyon there is a beautiful stretch of canyon (more like a cave!) of which you can take off your backback and walk down with a headtorch. I was absolutely terrified of going by myself- it's pitch black and there are lots of tight squeezes and goes for about 10-15 minutes. However it's worth it to see the little glow worms :)
