Brief Summary:
This activity is a vertical canyon adventure through Penrose Gulley & Tiger Snake Canyon involving approx 8 abseils up to 17m in height, many of which have tricky starts. There is also a significant amount of rock scrambling.The canyon does not involve any swims or deep wades, however you may get your knees wet. All participants must have current Level 1 Abseiling accreditation and be sufficiently fit to complete a moderately strenuous bushwalk. You must submit your Canyon and abseiling log (and send a email copy to the Activity Leader)
