Trip report URL:
Comments: Spoke to the forest service and the drainage is open to play in. This canyon has historically some very spicy exposed climbing that has been made worst by the sections that have some landslide debris. The upper drop “Bowtie Falls” has very little to offer in anchoring so we added a bolt station on the chockstone itself. The next two drops had nice natural anchors so we used them. For the final rap, we used the same tree DCL and added a bolt to the single bolt we placed last winter. This section is extra spicy. Would not attempt if the flows are really pumping as getting to the bolt station includes staying on rappel and walking a very narrow and wet cat walk feature.
