Trip report URL:
Comments: We were able to get out with daylight in this canyon as the team was efficient in setting up anchors with the number of people we had. The original KML has a long approach before the first rappel. However, there are rock cairns setup for a few alternate rappels in the beginning vs down climbing all the way down to BC start. The canyon run went well and we replaced some of the anchor webbing that was looking old and faded. We did have a slight issue where a rock cairn that was utilized a large rock shifted under weight and the team had to jump on it and the backup meat anchor. We beefed up the anchor since but please check this anchor before your go on rappel (see attached).
Overall, there is a lot of walking involved in Bad Canyon but once you get to the rappels, they are worth it.
