Comments: Great trip organized on the "Canyoneering California" MeetUp group. We had 16 people of all ages and levels. Canyon is overgrown. We did some trimming but needs more serious cleaning effort. Replaced webbing for 3 anchors.

Comment: Spent 3 more hours cutting logs, trimming trees, etc. Getting better, but a LOT more work is needed to open it up properly. To be continued in January 2025.

Comment: The top of Colby Canyon have some much debris, logs and overgrowth, that it is almost impassable.
Spent about 5 hours cutting logs, trimming trees, macheting plants etc. Looks better but a LOT more work is needed to open it up properly. To be continued soon.

Comment: Went as part of a larger group. Canyon was easily accessible. Lots of gardening and bushwacking taking place to clean up the route. Anchors are generally in good shape. One was replaced. Took a longer time as we were a larger group that was experimenting with different repelling techniques.
Very little water in the canyons. Some pools created from the rains this weekend. Generally a good first canyon for beginners to practice in.

Comment: Seems like this last winter brought a ton of debris down stream, many of wish got stuck in the canyon. On top of that, several newly fallen trees are add a few obstacles.
That with some vegetation growth made it a bit less enjoyable, but I still like this canyon for what it is. And as always: DON'T BE A LAZY CANYONEER! Please carry your favorite Gardening tools to every canyon (Folding Saw, Pruners, Loppers, Machete). We all need to help with trail and canyon maintenance on every trip. | |||||||

Comment: We descended this canyon during a good rainstorm and it was quite excellent. I would only repeat with similar conditions. We found the Bennen beta about rap bypasses inaccurate and I've editing the ropewiki beta with a note and the intention to complete the beta further after another descent (possible changing its technical rating from 2 to 3). There was an anchor around a tree, so someone else does this route. It was a shitty anchor, so if you are reading this, shame on you.
