Comments: Took us about 7.5 hours car to car cause we stopped for a while at the top to eat lunch and take in the amazing views. Anchors were in good condition except for the webbing on rap 5 which was a little old so someone added another webbing loop except they tied it with a basic overhand with basically no tail. It (of course) came out super easy and we retied it properly. Pretty scary, make sure you know what you’re doing and check all the anchors every time!

Comment: Time is for BIW/BIE combo. While fun,and absolutely worthwhile, we both thought the raps and views on this side aren’t as stunning as BIW. I don’t love exposure, but taking on the upper elements of this place twice in one day increased my comfort with it. Still, the PG is deserved, and it’s not a place I’d bring kids.

Comment: Anchors look good, someone placed an additional anchor between R4 and R5 which really confused me, a lot of the described rappel lengths feel off but other than this debacle the route was ok, seems more a summit seekers experience than a canyon but R2 was pretty.

Comment: Anchors are all bomber. Saw 2 rattlers just above the last rap in the slot, watch out! Rap 2 is 100ft, not sure why it's listed as 100+

Comment: Full route. Small patches of ice on the narrow ridge section of the approach. Besides that, the conditions were good. R3 anchor was missing so we replaced it. The rest of the a chord looked new/good.

Comment: 4 5 hours.
R2 Anchor off boulder is looking ready to be replaced. Approximately 30' of webbing. Master points have been removed from most natural anchors and replaced with single loops. Extra webbing was removed. Fun scramble with epic views, cool downclimbs and good rappels.

Comment: Block on the downclimb section is loose and worrisome.
We did 4 rappels. Anchors looked good.

Comment: Very fun route. The approach and views from the island are on par with, and possibly more fun than, the rappel sequence itself. All webbing was in good condition. Added a quick link to R3 since a hollow "escape" ring was currently there. The webbing on R3 was in good condition, so didn't cut out ring, but when the webbing does need to be changed, somebody please remove the hollow ring which is there.
We ended up doing 6 rappels - not sure which ones we combined in the slot portion of the route but it's all very straight forward and can be downclimbed by experienced/adventurous folks.

Comment: R2. 100' off large boulder shaped like a ufo RDC. We removed a lot of webbing from the route and either salvaged or replaced the anchors. Bright orange webbing and a death valley cairn anchor were removed. Always a fun one!

Comment: Easily findable approach with some PG moves required at the beginning and near the top. Anchors were good and easy to find. Only one overhang rappel, all pretty easy.

Comment: Good fun. Approach was just as worthwhile as the canyon (maybe moreso?) All anchors in good condition. Knocked some big boulders down midway down the second to last drop, so there should be a bit less loose stuff in there now.
