Trip report URL:
Comments: Canopy to Bridge in a day. Car-to-car in 14.5 hrs. Stellar journey! We had to build almost all anchors in the canopy and several in the upper section. The KML path for the approach is spot on. Thanks for whoever did that! Epic long day with 35(ish) raps. Advanced team of two moving a fast pace swapping leads with two ropes of 120' and 160'. I wouldn't want to attempt this long journey with a party much bigger than two or three. Tons of terrain to cover and you gotta keep moving. We left the upper trailhead at 0330 and made it to the saddle around first light.
If you've ever wanted to descend the canopy, now is the time. All anchors are in place. Go get it!
