Exploratory descent of Montezuma Falls and upper Avon Creek

[FatCanyoner]

A friend of mine was down in Tassie recently, and on their last day they decided to explore the upper part of Avon Creek before abseiling down Montezuma Falls, which at 104m is apparently the tallest waterfall in Tasmania.

Their trip report is well worth a read and includes some pretty spectacular photos: https://fatcanyoners.org/2019/02/20/montezuma-falls/

They didn't find any signs of a track to the top of the falls, or any evidence that others had explored the canyon or abseiled the falls. I'm curious if anyone knows of this trip having been done previously or if they really can claim a first descent.

Enjoyable read & pics....
I have a sudden urge to hang off a piece of rope under the sprinkler.
Or get serious & take a abseiling course.

Looks like a great trip.

A beautiful area!

Holy moly! That sounds like a terrible idea but well done

I'm getting the heebie jeebies just looking at the pics
