International group. The Blue Mountains are inland at about 1,000 m (3,000 ft) and it felt quite cold for some of the participants

106-0603_IMG.JPG (547644 bytes) The canyon got quite narrow again at the bottom and actually had a roof. Therefore the last abseil (25 m / 75 ft) was like an abseil into a cave
