Morning mist lifts off the pines as you step from the van and the river calls—loud, raw, and impatient. Guides tighten harnesses; ropes hum against rock. The first 18-meter dry abseil is a study in controlled descent: feet find friction, breath matches the rope. Later the canyon opens to a 25-meter cascade, water pressing against your chest like a dare as you lower into a pool that gleams blue-green.
