OT: Canyons around Canberra 18-Nov-2009 At 9:47:44 AM Wollemi

If there were slot canyons or Kanangra/Bungonia-type canyons in the Budawangs/Nerriga, wouldn't
they be described on the still available sketch map of the area already due to bush-walking
devotees of decades past doing hard walks?

Kinda OT... I have deliberately reversed a couple of canyons using prusiks, the canyon closest to
Sydney was the hardest and coldest, but the cascading fall below that (below the tourist stepping
stones) is easier due to being able to put your feet on the rock.
There is a YouTube vid of Dan Osman reversing a waterfall, more a sloping cascade, dressed in
wetsuit and face mask, and using ice tools.
