Sharplin Falls, Mt Sommers

With a cold southerly and fresh snow on the foothills, we weren't exactly eager to start canyoning, but it wasn't forecast to rain and the water levels were managable so off we went.

Grant's son Sol joined us for a trip down Sharplin Falls. The water was a fair bit higher than my last trip, but this gorge has so many ways to be descended that you can choose to be dry through to very wet.

Despite moving quickly through the canyon, Sol wetsuit wasn't that well fitting, so he got very cold and we escaped just before the final drop. Still, an enjoyable few hours in canyon.
