Long uphill hike (with lovely views higher up) and long approach along a tree strewn river bed.

A beautiful central waterfall, where it is important to find the re-belay - well to the side on river left. All the water disappears 2/3 of the way down into a water pipe.

Lovely views on the hike. A beautiful central waterfall, where it is important to find the rebelay - well to the side on river left. Other than that it is a huge amount of walking, trees in the water course and minor rappels for one or two good features. We added a bolt below the pipeline and a tree anchor for the final waterfall.
Idrologia:
You cannot judge the flow from the lower parking, a water pipe takes almost all the water 2/3 of the way down. You have to do the walk in to see the flow.
