Hastings River Canyon v6a5

Known locally as the Inner Sanctum for its slot section, but it is a genuine commitment: as of October 2023 the exit ridge was choked with scrub thick enough that one party took nine hours to fight back to the trailhead in the dark. Their own verdict on the page: 'The only way I will ever return is if the entire thing goes up in flames.' Budget a very long day and do not underestimate the walk out.
