Wear closed, grippy shoes
Canyon floors are slick; neoprene socks help but dedicated canyon shoes or old approach shoes with good soles are essential.
Hydrate before you start
Cold water masks exertion—drink beforehand and eat a light snack to maintain energy during jumps and rappels.
Be honest about heights
The route includes a 50 m rappel; if you have a severe fear of heights, consider an alternative experience.
Protect electronics
Bring a waterproof case or leave cameras behind—water and falls are part of the route and phones can be lost.
