Peak Creek v6a4IV**

Highest drop 50m

Public access

8-10hrs

The test piece of the Top of the South! Reasonably short but very technical canyon. All abseils have strong vertical flow and it’s either difficult or impossible to avoid getting your arse kicked! That, plus the hanging belays, deviations, serious poor-overs, and tricky pack management make it a challenging day out.

First descent: Lee Den Haan, Toine Houtenbos, Richard Bramley, 5/11/2016
