Trip report URL:
Comments: Easy approach up the firebreak and then along Willie's trimmed path. Used 120' of rope on R1 to get down to the scree slope. Descent to Eaton took 1:05 with the last short rappel being especially interesting. Met up with a large group in Eaton who let me use their rope for the penultimate rappel, then I took the bypass trail around the last waterfall.

Comment: Being the FD, there was plenty of pruning on the approach, drop-in and some places in the ravine. Also, anchor building was quite time consuming. The first drop has a high rock fall hazard (see pic), so I had to be exceedingly careful with my line, foot steps and rope placement (PG). All this made the run slow (special challenges). Overall, Upper Lower Ravine is a good run for anyone looking for different adventure than the normal front range canyons.
