Trip report URL:

Comments: We walked the whole loop from Willow, up Rocky Gap, up North Peak Trail, drop in at Bluff, traversed entire canyon in casual pace. Very steep and then bush-whacky in the beginning but then the canyon becomes milder. There are a few body water we were able to skirt/ledge-scramble around in the middle. The later swimmer holes all could be skipped with some scrambling up and over on the side and rappel back down. Do not follow cairn toward the end, those are for the new sneak route. Stick to the canyon and you'll encounter the last rappel. Last rappel has 2 bolts. All the short ones are natural anchors. There were about 5-ish short ones, some skippable.
