Trip report URL:
Comments: Real Hairy full of solid ice including solid waterfalls, and required some bushwhacking due to thick vegetation (even in winter). Big Wash has flowing water with a lot of ice cover, and partially frozen waterfalls. Microspikes highly recommended to prevent slips and falls. Two anchors were replaced at R2 and R3 with webbing and quicklink. Visited Big Wash Falls but did not rappel it. I recommend bringing anchor material and/or fiddlestick for this canyon as it is not run on a regular basis. Getting wet was avoidable except for feet due to snow, ice and flowing water.
