Blue Creek, Kahurangi NP

Toine and I decided on a more chilled out day after a long effort hunting for Canyons in Golden Bay. So we opted for the deep dry confines of Blue Creek, Mt Owen, Kahurangi National Park.

We entered at the normal spot, which is not particularly far above the resurgence. Toine was quite impressed with the Canyon, even though it was virtually dry. We enjoyed plenty of raps and downclimbs and more than a few photos. Looking back at my notes from the first trip I did here, we only rappelled from bolts in the lower canyon, so the short rappels I recorded were actually down climbable with care and a temporary belay.
