Comments: Super fun canyon. Clearly this canyon has seen some major flash floods. We replaced anchors for every drop. We did use a sand trap in one spot (second half of 'r6') but there are other ways to solve that challenge, such as a multistage rappel off a higher cairn.

Comment: A little spicy traverse towards the end of the ridgeline approach, a few short 3rd Class moves. Canyon had some fun back-to-back rappelling but quite the hike for it.

Comment: Awesome canyon. We replaced most of the webbing, and moved one of the anchors back from the edge, and rebuilt most of the cairn anchors.

Comment: We dug out and inspected all anchors because we weren't sure if it had been run this season yet. All webbing look decent and didn't need replacing. We did run into a downclimb that was a little too spicy for us so we farmed rocks from above and made an anchor.

Comment: We updated ropewiki. Also, note not all the webbing was replaced, as some was in great shape. We did replace 2 anchors with Bluewater Pro rope. It's new. And good, FYI so no need to remove unless you see damage, yeah?

Comment: Excellent canyon for Death Valley Standards. Long approach, short canyon but worth every drop. 5 stars for Death Valley Standard Canyoneering. anchors have been rebuilt and gift wrapped. I recommend running deep chasm first than hike up the sneak route to Crater of Doom and grab both in a 11 hour day.
