Women's NEW Butterbox Canyon Adventure Saturday 18th November

Butterbox Canyon: For adventure-seekers craving a thrilling challenge! With 7 challenging abseils, rock jumps up to 8m, rock climbing, and stunning views, the Butterbox canyon is not for the faint of heart. You must be extremely fit and have prior abseiling experience to tackle this one.

This is a big day out, so be prepared to spend the whole day in the canyon. You won't be getting home early, but you'll be rewarded with an unforgettable experience.

Mount Hay has a rich history of attracting adventurers, and Butterbox Canyon is no exception. This grand and spectacular chasm will challenge you with a succession of awesome abseils and water jumps. The highlight of the canyon is two ~20 meter abseils into the deepest, darkest part of the slot canyon. The second abseil is from a giant chock-stone wedged between the canyon walls into the waterfall below.

The canyon concludes with a steep hike out featuring stunning views of the Grose Valley and an adrenalin-pumping, short rock climb on an exposed sandstone cliff high above the valley floor.

Remember, this canyon is a serious challenge. If you're up for it, we can't wait to guide you through this incredible adventure. But if you're not extremely fit or don't have prior abseiling experience, we recommend choosing one of our other canyoning trips.
