Comment: A nice short canyon with roadside access. With only one pitch at the start, only minutes from the road, you can pull your rope after you exit. If you use a tensionless hitch off one of the trees you'll want a 35m rope, otherwise the pitch is around 25m - though you can downclimb the last couple of metres. The canyon is quite narrow with a 'V' cross section pretty much the whole way. Some high stemming is required and you wouldn't want to fall. There were a few shallow pools, all easily avoidable except at the end which required a little more effort. The exit posed the biggest challenge for us. There had been 10cm of fresh snow overnight making travelling on the slickrock too dangerous. We ended up climbing the slot to the top before contouring around. This involved one tricky offwidth crack climb.

Comment: Fun short little canyon with practically no approach and a quick exit, definitely worth doing if you have an hour or so to kill. Some easy stemming (which for most people will be optional, as it is also possible to walk along the bottom of the V-shaped slot) and chimneying down-climbs that aren't terribly difficult but could be intimidating to beginners; probably a good idea to bring a short rope or ~30 ft of webbing in case someone wants a handline. Exit up the slickrock prow seemed to require one slightly tricky move that is fairly easy but exposed, beginners or unconfident climbers may want a handline here too.
