Comments: Time is car to car and includes rebuilding of all anchors and stopping at Oak Creek along the exit to cool/rinse off. All existing anchor material was removed, replaced, and packed out (see attached picture for webbing condition). Some anchors were relocated.
R4 was a highlight - was able to avoid locusts completely by pushing off the wall near the bottom. Several fun downclimbs throughout the canyon. Pulls went smooth. A few decent rappels for a relatively quick and painless approach!
This is certainly a rugged and wild canyon. Thick brush slows navigation in some areas, hence the low quality rating. Still, an overall enjoyable experience and an adventure worth repeating.

Comment: Leisurely pace car to car practicing knot passing and checking out a cave on 89A.
The exit is very brushy and unpleasant, the rock on the rappels are kinda sweet and cool to see if you like basalt and you've done most of the other routes in the area.
