Kristo, Jason, Dave, Hywaida, Kylie and meeeeeee

After our mini epic in Mathers we were like what a 20min walk in, 2hr canyon 1min walk out? Yes Please.

We’d kept Imp Grotto until last as it would be a short morning giving us plenty of time to get the gear washed and dried for the trip home.

It was another one I was really looking forward to as it sounded like the prefect bang for buck canyon.

We pulled up at the bridge, found the secret entrance to the entry track… It’s such a cool ecperirence you part the ferns and the trail appears in an area that looks all but cliffed out.

Magic

Less than 15min later we are at the start of the canyon.

How cool is that.

Of the canyons we visited this trip, in terms of look, Imp Grotto is probably the most reminent of the Blue Mountains canyons we are use to.

I head over and set the rope and we are into it like a Hobbit in a cake shop

On a scale of 1 -10 its a 15 on the fun dial.

And before we know it we are splashing around in the pool under the bridge like some sort of troll living his best life in the absence of Billy Goats Gruff.

And with rain predicted for tomorrow we can’t believe just how lucky we got with the notorious west coast weather.

5 prefect days of canyoning weather.

NZ you’ve been so Fresh.

Chur, bro.
