Hancock Gorge

After the adrenaline pumping hike through the Weno Gorge, we had two eager hikers ready to take on the next Class 5 hike at Hancock Gorge. This proved to be an easier hike then the previous but no less beautiful with the sheer red cliffs, narrowing variegated passage ways and perfect clear waters.
The hike started with an vertical ladder decent and finished with a narrowing where spider walking was the safe way through. Again the prize was the view of a stunning unspoilt pool. The result was a broader view of the term hike.  
Karijini NP proved to be second to none. Fantastic!
Further and further into the gorge
We named this one Gollum pool.
