Kapakapanui Hut v3a1III

20m max drop, 8 pitches

2hrs to the Hut | 8hrs back to the car

An adventure, but not a good canyoning trip! “Waterfall tramping” down a steep stream, with loose-ish rock and lots of debris in the stream way.

About an hour from the hut to the first pitch, 2.5hrs of frequent small waterfalls 3-8m high which can all be climbed around, then 4hrs of gorgy flat travel (with one final small pitch) to get home.

Loads of tree and fern (!) anchors.

First descent January 2007. Pip Furness and Brendon Nevin. 2nd decent 26 January 2007. Dan Clearwater, Romaric Vincent, Scott McIntyre
