Comments: A very interesting and adventurous route!
Climbing Lady Mountain was fun and engaging! None of the climbs were particularly difficult. The trail gains elevation very quick. 2 hours to the summit and the view was wonderful! Spent 30mins here.
Descending from the summit into the canyon quickly requires hiking/downclimbing alot of loose and very steep terrain!
The crack section early on was my favorite part of this route! Many of the rappels can be elevator downclimbed. Those that cant were pretty enjoyable! Lots of chances to stem in this neat V notch crack!
Eventually starts to open up for a bit of a hike. There is one section with deep water we were able to avoid by climbing up an off-width crack on right and rappelling off a tree past the pool. This was the only water encountered in canyon.
The downclimb to the big rappel was neat. Big rap was every bit of 240’. It is a somewhat lowish angle drop. We toggled this but for some reason could not pull our toggle out with anything less than 6:1 mechanical advantage. So that took time...
We replaced alot of webbing throughout canyon.
Hike out was chill.

Comment: Back for another run through! 2hr45min to summit Lady Mountain. Incredible views! Canyon is just as good as I mentioned in my previous report. The single pool was present and a nice respite from the heat. No pull issues this time on the big drop. Can confirm drop is 225’. Found a stuck dynamic rope from someone trying to combine raps 12/13, there is a reason these raps are broken up! Rope was badly sunburnt…
