In March 2024, Austin Edwards ascended from Dart River to 700m contour: no evidence of a canyon was found. There could be something above that elevation, but the nearby Abruzzi canyon was gorged between 600-700m.
Category: Not a canyon/don’t bother
Streams which have been descended, which either have nothing to interest a canyoner, or have such a low effort to reward ratio that no one would probably ever repeat the trip.
Intended solely to show which streams have been visted so explorers can explore elsewhere!
