Main Streamway from Oxbow Corner to Stake Pot[edit | edit source]

Note: the streamway becomes impassible in very wet conditions.

Downstream from Oxbow Corner, the fine streamway has good formations. It is mostly knee-deep, but with some deeper sections.

After about 10 minutes, the route ascends boulders below Stake Pot.

  • The route to Stake Pot ascends the boulder slope, over and between boulders, following the right-hand wall. This leads to a 2m hand-line climb using staples in the wall. Above, a short mud slope leads to Stake Pot.
  • The streamway route to Fall Pot is to descend through the boulders, staying close to the stream.
