Comments: Aesthetic and fun series of drops, approach gully is cleaner than I thought it would be, natural bridge is cool and would be even better with some flow, easy to bypass if desired, and the big drop is a bit wandery but a pretty comfortable introduction to big drops for those who haven't done a 300-footer before, 90% on wall and a straightforward start. We somewhat unnecessarily replaced R1 and R2 webbing for practice, dug out R3 from a bunch of sediment trapped in the pinch and determined it to still be in good shape. One of the cleaner/easier wash walks i've done in Sedona on the exit, minimal boulder hopping once joining the main drainage. A rope protector at the top edge would be nice for larger groups and is easy to position, however there are like 3 other rub points on the way down that you can't really avoid, so controlled and smooth rappelling is the ticket to avoid unnecessary abrasion on your long rope. A toggle works great on both R1 and R2.

Comment: Time reflects combination with Baby Buddah, waiting out winds, and pull issue (fiddle paracord snapped) on R3. All in all a short route. R1 very easily bypassed, R2 is wandery but fun. R3 is easy with a variety of options to choose from, or bypassed easily climbing up RDC (a good way to retrieve your damn fiddle), At the bottom of R3, make sure to take a second, beautiful aromas from the Arizona cypress make it seem like someone's broken a bottle of eucalyptus. Exiting the wash, it is best to hug the wall RDC exiting the canyon, which will lead you to quickly to a dirt gully that goes smoothly down to the wash. If you are bushwacking in the first few minutes, you're going the harder way, nonetheless all roads lead to home, and the wash is a boulder hoppy, meandering time.

Comment: 4.5 hours. There was a steady drip rolling through the route but we were able to stay dry. Fiddle stick on the big rappel. Ide recommend a 330' pull cord. Anchors looked good.

Comment: Took a much longer exploratory approach. If we had stayed on track this would have taken 4 hours. Fun route!

Comment: A great romp around Brins mesa. We spent 2 extra hours on the approach looking for alternative approach options. The approach to the overlook then cutting over to the nose seems most efficient. R1 arch was downclimbed by one in our group Inside the arch crack LDC R2. 300 is exactly 300. Fiddle sticked. Reccomend Edge protection. r3 anchor looked good. next time we do it with flow!

Comment: Finished route in under 4 hours, starting and ending at brins mesa. Approach took 1.5 hours to r1. The arch was a cool rapp. Set anchors for r1 and r3. r3 anchor is a single loop off a pinch in the boulder pile. would reccomend a 320 or extending the pull on the big drop.

Comment: First known descent with Jay Wisocki and Todd Holmes. Anchors set on R1 and R3 (300'). Used Smooth Operator on R2 (Bridge) and R4. Amazing natural bridge rappel, plus a 300' rappel, plus amazing view = Great adventure.
