Introduction
partial exploration of this canyon - didn't have the gear to finish it on this scouting mission this trip - will be coming back.
Update - explored by a team led by Aysel Gezik
Approach
Descent
Aysel's report January 2021: The canyon we ended up doing yesterday involved 4 rappels ranging from 15-35 feet high and two down climbs – all polished. It is insignificant as expected but a fun mini canyon that would be suitable for beginner canyoneers to play in.
Attached is the gpx file and google earth image showing the actual track.
Total trip effort: 11 miles with 1700 feet gain
Canyon start (N36.44155 W116.63077) at 4133 feet level
Last rappel (N36.43785 W116.64402) at 3780 feet level
