Introduction[edit]
Identified and expecting a canyoneering First Descent, but when arriving in the canyon, we found fresh anchors recently put in. I had previously posted some info for this canyon when recruiting partners for it, so not sure if that was used. We have no idea who the group was that just went through this canyon before we got there. There is no beta or a posting for this canyon in Ropewiki by anyone so far. Maybe the party will come forth to be identified. Put in a generic (temporary) name to see if it has been named by this earlier party.
UPDATE: 12-14-19: Found that the First Descent was done by Rick Kent and team 1-23-10. In the statement above, there was another party that ran the canyon in front of Scott Swaney's team, and still unknown who it was at this time. Rick Kent's trip was almost ten years earlier.
Rick had named the canyon in 2010 Desperation Canyon. Never has been put on any public canyoneering beta site
