We simul-wrap, this short drop, simul-swim under the choke stone & simul-complain about how cold the water is.

The water bug approach to swimming works well for us.

The final rap is a real delight, with dual falls that split around a big rock & join again at the bottom. Not too shabby.

Here's a clip at the same rappel. Aaron has mastered the art of the human bobbing camera platform.

It starts to rain a little as we begin our hike out. We stumble across yet another falls, doesn't it know we're supposed to be in a drought?

You can't have too many waterfall vids.

We thrash our way out and make camp. It's been an 11.5 hour day and everyone is hungry, wet and tired. Dry clothes, a bit of food and energy levels are back to 100% with enthusiasm to spare ........ we all go to bed at 7:30pm. We hike out the next day under cool, bright and sunny skies.
