Comment: Intense bushwacking on the approach and exit. Lots of loose material to be mindful of: at the top of R2, we heard a substantial rockfall occur close by. Shortly after, while on rappel, I was struck (but uninjured) by a rock that was dislodged by someone in our group. During the exit, more ominous rockfall was heard from above. Potholes in the lower section were holding water but all avoidable. One pool along the exit in Secret is fairly challenging to stem over. 2/3 of our group simply opted to get their feet wet.

Comment: A pretty decent route (made extra pretty with fall colors) and featuring one really fantastic large rappel!
Super foggy day, the air was dense with moisture, gave a very gloomy, spooky, but at the same time fun and intriguing vibe! Intermittent light showers made it interesting! The approach and exit are pretty straightforward and easy to follow. The first rappel is a decent warm up before the huge free hang! The big rap is reminiscent of Insomnia or Sundance. Very nice huge free hang with awesome views! There was a pool at the next rappel that I was able to stem over and set up a guided rap for others. The last rappel is optional, has no anchor installed, as we climbed around it. It featured 2 pools that wouldn't be avoidable. We took our time on this route having a team member that was recovering from an injury. We eventually went ahead of them on the exit so we could break down camp. Could easily complete in 6hrs or less.

Comment: A foggy and rainy day made for pleasant conditions.
Anchors looked good. We took our time as we had one member recovering from a broken ankle and surgery. Average times have been updated as well as rappel lengths.

Comment: A pleasant surprise with the shortest approach and exit in the Secret Mountain circuit.
BIG drop could possibly be done with a 200' to first ledge then re anchor or downclimb, but running it out to 250' as one big rappel reccomended. R3 was done with a retrievable anchor. Able to stay dry and avoid shallow pools.
