Comments: It was a warm weekday afternoon. We biked from Mt. Washington trailhead and locked the bikes to the bridge. Followed the existing approach coordinates for the most part. Just the approach took us 2h. It is steep bushwhacking, most use hands and feet often. We got lots of scratches. Once we got to the canyon, it was fun. All rappels are back to back. Replaced the existing anchors with new webbing. If it wasn't for the approach this canyon would be a whole a lot more fun.

Comment: Great day. Did the canyon solo for work. Quite the schlep carrying 600 ft of rope/pull cord just to do the last rap (in addition to all the equipment I needed). Water isn't cold, but it was kind of windy in the canyon. Was comfortable in a 3mm shortie and a rain jacket while moving, but cold while standing around for long periods of time. Removed two things of cord/maelon - gotta love that fiddlestick! I think there's only 3 raps left with tat on them. Would be a fun challenge to try to ghost those drops - might be doable, but I didn't want to push it solo.

Comment: First known descent. Accessed by bike. Decent spot to lock up bikes near start of bushwhack. Water wasn't too cold, and no deep pools. Done with all natural anchors. Don't even think about bringing a bolt kit - it won't help you. Rock is absolute choss.
