Did this, last Thursday. Thanks to the recent rains, there was a LOT more water coming over the falls!

I did Empress for the first time at night. I nearly climbed over that edge 'cause in the dark I didn't know it was a drop on the other side. It was probably a dumb move doing an unknown canyon for the first time at night. It's a nice canyon. It's rather convenient having the formed path out and car park at the top.

it would be doubled over for a 30m drop.

Correct. Or you can use a single rope is you want, with various retrieval options. Also, you can do a shorted drop to the right side if required.

I went either earlier this year or late last year. Great fun :D

Aw man! I did this back in 2004 but all of my pics were underexposed and I didn't have a video cam to capture the experience. Thanks for posting, it brought it all back for me!

Yes, one 60m static rope. It was 60m originally, but with shrinkage due to water use it was more like 56m. It just reached the water.

Is this using a 60m rope?
