Taipo River from the cableway
Crossing the Taipo River via this cableway was a lot of fun - though getting there wasn't.
We tried to cross the river upstream but decided it was too deep and fast, so the alternate is to climb up a very steep loose rocky gully/track to a bluff and then back down to almost river level where the cableway is situated. The climb was so steep I didn't want to stop to take any photos! But going across in the cableway was great with good views of the river.
Not far to our hut for the night from here.
