Comments: The rappel are fun by themselves but they primarily serve as a link-up between the even better approach and exit. The scramble around Loy Butte is simply amazing and the exit is incredible fun. Highly recommend this route. For the exit, we followed the drainage until we got near the private property and then headed up hill to the right and had an easy hike to the road.

Comment: Enjoyable approach, really cool topography in certain sections and cool sights. The canyon descent itself is nothing remarkable but it serves an enjoyable day. Eric's comment about the exit would prove valuable, I decided to follow kml and would recommend following previous suggestions instead.

Comment: Rain made for some fun conditions. Reduced the excess webbing at rappel 3. For the exit stay left and in the main drainage until you reach the bottom. Easily avoided the private property. 4.5 hrs car to car with a few breaks along the way.

Comment: Loved this canyon. Approach is super fun, lots of scenic stops if you look for them. Some super fun down-climbing before & after R1 and R4. Really rad day w flow. Anchors in good shape

Comment: Anchor is now set on r2. The section of the exit between the road and and of the route is bushy but short. Avoiding private property was easy with the updated kml. Stoked to hear some fellow adventurers on the route below us. 4 hours and 15 minutes car to car with a few short breaks on the approach.

Comment: 3.5 hours car to car on a first descent. We fiddle sticked the second rappel. Bring webbing. The entrance downclimb was a highlight, and the technical section was short. Pretty low effort for the area.

Comment: A Fun way off Loy Butte! A series of shorter drops leapfrogs you down between towering chasm walls. Catch the sun just right and the glowing walls will frame expansive views southward. Anchors include slung trees and bushes. At the bottom, skirt right immediately around the corner and avoid private property.
