Introduction[edit]
The most important & impressive feature of this canyon is the one big 400' dry-fall. And we rigged 2 rappels here to get down it. We only had a 300' rope. and we rappelled down into a hanging pothole and constructed another anchor. And did a final 270' rappel (all overhanging) to finish the wall. There is another 30 rappel at the start, or it can be bypassed with a down-climb. This feature is the main reason anyone would want to go check this one out. Made it a worthy canyon to see.
I gave a higher star rating to this canyon just because of this cool one big dryfall and the the efforts, and views of it. Otherwise this would not be much of a worthy canyon
