Comments: Started from Red Box and descended into Eaton. The whole canyon can be done without technical gear(as proven by D. Red) It felt quite the hike from the final rap into the usual Eaton entrance.
Pretty canyon in the beginning, followed by non-scratching brush and several downclimbs. There's a pretty cool pothole after the long drop that's deep enough where I had to tippy-toe to touch the ground while it was full(I'm 5'4").

Comment: I will update the beta, this is a nearly non technical alternative approach to Lower Eaton. It has rappel maybe 70 feet.
