Trip report URL:
Comments: The first descent took us 10.5 hours. Likely a 3.5 rating canyon - more stars if the approach wasn't so difficult. The approach took us 4 hours but we realized we should have stayed on the crest of the mountain instead of navigating the very difficult terrain closer to the canyon walls. The canyon is very unique to what I've done. Almost all the rappels have curiously slanted and all have little "caves" behind then. Lots of rappels and lots of opportunities for natural anchors.
