Rope Canyon

Discovered by the original Team Smort during their first expedition, Rope canyon is half-a-day’s journey for the west for Alderoot.

An old road winding over the rockier hills at the foot of the mountains, strewn with rocks and overgrown with shrubs leads into a ravine.

The ravine runs several km north to south and is between 9 and 10m wide.

Worn pillars covered in graffiti line the canyon. A sturdy knotted rope is tied to one of the pillars on this side of the ravine and gives the place it’s name. The descent is deceptively perilous, as Kkaedes discovered the first and only time he tried to climb down without using the rope.

Rough hewn stars dotted by three landings lead to the canyon floor.

The bottom of the ravine is inhabited by wild boars. Kiwi was able to temporarily befriend one of them and named her Porkchops.

Under the canyon’s western ledge lies The Crumbled Fortress.
