Unknown flood risk
Trin, GR
Twenty three rappels packed into just 500m, described on RopeWiki's Spanish language page as engorgado, with abundant flow year round. Longest single rappel is 30m; two 30m ropes and neoprene are called for.
There are no escapes once inside; the approach note says to judge the flow from the entry bridge by comparing it to photos of the first waterfall before committing. RopeWiki also documents a lower section as prohibited to descend, so confirm current status before extending past the main line. Season runs August through November, though the page notes early August can still be too soon some years.
Logistics
| Permit | The lower section is prohibited to descend ("El tramo inferior esta prohibido descenderlo"). RopeWiki's entry for this canyon is written throughout in Spanish, sourced from barranquismo.net, so the language is native to the page rather than a stray import. The trip report in the exit notes predates the ban ("cuando nosotros fuimos el tramo de abajo aun no estaba prohibido"), which dates it as a real change rather than a long standing rule. Infobox records Permits: Yes. |
