Yileen Canyon

I had done this canyon once before in 2008 and I had forgotten most of the details except the 45m abseil at the end where the creek drops out of the hillside into the  Grose Valley.  The walk-in was short and easy on a good path and we were quickly into the various little challenges – all of which I had forgotten – awkward slides, jumps and climb-downs interspersed with short sections of creek walking.   Although it is not a long canyon,  it was still more varied and impressive than I had remembered.

Too soon we came to the third and final abseil and slid down the 45 metres to the valley below.  A short walk out and we were back at the car four hours after setting out.  An excellent reward/effort ratio.
