Barranco Hospital de Siresa Combinación

Barranco Hospital de Siresa is an aquatic canyon with 5 rappels, the longest being 17m, requiring two 20m ropes and a full wetsuit. The approach is very short, just 5 minutes down a track from the upper parking, which requires a car shuttle from Siresa. The descent starts with short downclimbs and jumps. Rappels include a 15m ramp into a pool, a 12m rappel from trees, a 5m toboggan (avoidable with a handline, but check for recent rockfalls), the main 17m rappel into a large pool, and a final 10m downclimbable drop. Anchors are very good, using chemical bolts and trees. This canyon typically carries water but is open, so it rarely presents problems. It has several escape routes and can be combined with other routes. The descent takes 1 hour, with a 10-minute return walk. It is rated v3-a2-II, suitable for those seeking a moderate aquatic experience.
