"Awesome little slot. Very Zion/carved sandstone feeling section, but out of conglomerate. Obviously a lot of rockfall hazard, so be careful, otherwise |

Introduction[edit]
(3-3-18) - A very short walk through slot canyon. Just as a quick entry into a very pretty slot made in Conglomerate rock. Class 2 non-technical.
NOTE: UPDATED 3-17-18 - came back for a second trip, and did it as a technical canyon. With a hike-up and around, and dropped into the canyon from above and completed two rappels - up to 80'. A very cool and narrow slot as it drops down over two cool slot dry-falls
