Sintesi:
High Water canyon. Technical, scary, commiting, definitely one of the highlight when coming to New Zealand, but you'll need a strong team for that one.

Sintesi:
High Water canyon. Technical, scary, commiting, definitely one of the highlight when coming to New Zealand, but you'll need a strong team for that one.

Accesso:

Avvicinamento (2 h 30):
From Kiwi Flat hut, go to the end of the canyon. From there follow the pink tapes on the orographically right side. Cross Scamper Torrent, where it is best to leave a fixed rope, in case you need to escape after the middle part of Whirling Water. From there on you keep walking along the canyon, until you see again pink tapes which indicate where to go down to the canyon. Best ist to have GPX files from someone who went up there already.
Giro (5 h):
The canyon is very technical, has many long handlines, backflows, flush overs, siphons. Best ist to get in touch with someone who has done it, to get the most precise description.
Ritorno (20 min):
Easy, opposite way as when you went to check the water level.

Endlich war die Zeit gekommen für Whirling. Nachdem schon über 10 Leute in dem Projekt involviert waren, konnten sich 7 davon auf ein Datum einigen um die erste Integrale zu machen (ein paar im Team hatten schon alle Abschnitte gesehen, aber noch nicht alles am Stück gemacht). Eine unglaubliche Tour an einem unglaublichen Tag, inklusive der Einrichtungen des Standplatzes um durch den "Detonator Pitch" zu gehen.
Finally the time had come for Whirling. With over 10 people already involved in the project, 7 of them were able to agree on a date to do the first integral (a few in the team had already seen all the parts, but hadn't done it all in one piece). An incredible tour on an incredible day, including setting up the stand to go through the "Detonator Pitch".
