You are correct though, that wet weather would make some of the traverses almost impossible. The scrambling and waterfall ascents were great fun, but the shit began when the trail ascended to traverse some of the falls. Seriously sketchy hillside trails, and would have much rather been roped! Well, anyway, an ascent in style. The other issue is rock fall in the upper part of the sawa. Got winged on my arm by one and had two crack into the hillside next to my head. Hopefully the cold weather keeps them a bit more stable!
