Introduction[edit]
True to it's name, alcatraz is a challenging slot canyon which will require stamina (and potentially a small frame!) to escape.
For a full history of it's name and first descent, checkout the write up by Scott Patterson - Climb Utah!
Approach[edit]
More driving directions to come.
Do not attempt to take BLM Road 1619. It is in extremely poor condition with multiple washes that required hours of digging to make passable.
