February - April

Summary:

The small neighbour of Margaret Burn, but also the one where you will actually do more canyoning. Best ist to combine both in a day.

Access:

Approach (2 h):

Description is from the end of Margaret Burn. Unsure yet if it's best to go through the forest from the top of Margaret Burn (for example if you go for the 80m Rappel, and then leave the Rope to gather on the way to Abruzzi), or to go to the end of Abruzzi and walk up there.

Tour (2 h 30):

The canyon starts with some drops than haven't been Bolted, but it soon gets into a beatiful narrow part with 6-7 drops. After that there are a few more pitches, but always with some walking in between.

Return (45 min):

If possible, Cross the Dart river as soon as you get to it, in aim to go onto the hiking track on the other side. Otherwise stay on the same side until you get to the 3 cable bridge.

Cool canyon, just a shame it's so far away from a road. It's hardly worth coming up there just for Abruzzi, but in combination with Margaret Burn it's definitely a great tour.

Important information

Danger notice / Disclaimer

Walking in gorges (canyoning) involves non-obvious and potentially lethal dangers! In order to face them adequately, a thorough preparation of any walk is absolutely necessary. Reading the information available on this website is in no way sufficient for such a thorough preparation.

The available descriptions are based on personal experiences of different climbers and accordingly give a subjective impression of the conditions at a certain date in the past. The conditions can change significantly at any time due to, among other things, the weather (precipitation, snowmelt, ...) or possible events in alpine terrain (rockfalls, avalanches, ...). The described technical installations can also change radically due to natural events (floods, corrosion) or human intervention (vandalism, theft, ...).

Accordingly, neither the correct nor the complete description can be guaranteed by the site operators and creators of the information available here. Opencanyon.org disclaims any liability for damages of any nature!
