Comments: All anchors in great condition. Pools were no more than chest deep, with most being about knee deep. We did 150, Matkat, Panameta, and Olo in a 4 day trip, each day quite long except the day hiking out where we finished around 3pm. Brought 130' webbing and 18 rap rings. Ended up only needing to build one anchor at the first drop into Olo, using 30' of webbing. Everything else was good to go, though I expect that can change pretty quickly.

    Comment: I'll give it five stars, as the main section of slot - which only lasts maybe 30 minutes - is an absolutely stunning white hallway. But, be prepared to work for it! The approach, and much of the canyon itself, is constantly uneven boulders and awkward climbs and pack passes. Nice reward, but it's a lot of work, like most Grand Canyoneering routes.

    Anchors were fine. Pools filled, waist-deep at most. You can avoid ever going deeper than mid-thigh with careful stemming. We went down with wetsuits, but ascended up without them after realizing none of the pools are swimmers. It was 70F air temps most of our trip and we were fine. Five days total, including going up and doing Makatamiba.
