Descent

R1: 15’ off tree or rock pinch into large pool (50+ foot swim). Or downclimb LDC / jump. Caution as rock is very slick.

R2: 20’ off rock pinch RDC under large boulder.

R3: 30’ off rock pinch, immediately followed by another long swim.

After numerous downclimbing obstacles, wades, and optional swims the canyon will open back up and merge with the trail.
