Comment: Beautifully sculpted gorgeous slot the whole way through!
Canyon flowing lightly, probably 0.5-1 cfs. Light showers, enjoyable clean pools of water. Snow and ice in some spots throughout. The actual technical section is fairly short but very beautiful with high quality rappels! I can confirm my 155’ rope reaches comfortably for both the large drops. I wore a 5/4 and was warm enough. Exit down Lower Kolob was equally stunning. There was an awesome large ice cave we visited on the way. More snow throughout the narrows of Lower Kolob that are gorgeous in their own right! We exited up the Boundary sneak exit, climbing the fixed ropes at the top. Such a fun day! We took our time and enjoyed every bit of it! 10.5hrs total at a leisurely pace.

Comment: Great day in Kolob. Very lightly flowing. Group was cozy and a bit hot in a mix of 5.5:3, 10:5, 7:3 wetsuits with no rain jackets. Likely 4:3 would be fine for fast groups.
If you are the climber who has left your rope hanging on the DCR wall after the first technical section of Kolob for the past 2+ years we have it. It looks like you bailed on a route (based on hardware left above the rope) and planned to get your rope back later but never got around to it. Feel free to message me with a description and I can get it back to you. Likely you don't want to use it at this point anyway. Time includes multiple hours of weird side quests (ascending and freeing the climbing rope, trying to keep it dry) as well as exiting up Boundary and out the fixed lines.

Comment: Took a sneak route out of the canyon. Lots of breaks and messing around with a rattlesnake. Lower Kolob is incredible. Didn't try to kill me. Probably won't do again.
