Approach[edit]
The approach for Bull canyon is spectacular. You overlook the city on the approach. The route is very long, so plan on a full day and make sure that you have headlamps. You most likely will be either starting or exiting in the dark depending on the season. Bring a lot of water on this route. I would bring shears to clear any thorn bush. It was really over grown when I did the canyon.
Descent[edit]
You will have many down climbs in the canyon. If you do not feel comfortable, you can set a meat anchor or there are plenty of trees to anchor to. The number of rappels will vary between 6-8 depending on your down climbing ability. The rappels are towards the end of the canyon.
