Ein toller Canyon mit einigen schönen Stellen, besonders in der unteren Hälfte. Im oberen Drittel liegen derzeit viele kleine bis mittlere Bäume, die gefällt und in die Schucht entsorgt wurden. Vielerorts war es ziemlich rutschig. Die Verankerungen waren alle in gutem Zustand.
A great canyon with some beautiful spots, especially in the lower half. In the upper third there are currently many small to medium-sized trees that have been felled and dumped in the canyon. It was quite slippery in many places. The anchors were all in good condition.
