Consusa (Lower)
verified
Ungraded
Unknown flood risk
Revilla, Huesca
Seventeen rappels link together in quick succession above Revilla, none huge alone but relentless as a set.
The crux hazard is a trap pothole that turns dangerous mainly in low water, in summer, rigged with a chain and fixed rope to help you out of it. After heavy rain, aquifers upstream can release water in a sudden surge locals call the Ola de la Consusa, the Consusa wave, so plan around spring and skip it if storms are forecast. It sits in Ordesa's peripheral protection zone rather than the core park, and no canyoning specific rule has turned up for that zone.
Logistics
