Comments: Quick, easy approach. Light trickle over R1 which is mostly free hanging. Watch for loose rock on R2. Smooth rope pulls. Cleared some brush (mainly catclaw) from the drainage.
Exit is typical for the area. Lots of scree / loose rock. At the saddle, picked up game trails leading up to the old road. Webbing new. No signs of prior descent.
Ran Griffin Canyon afterwards. 6 hours total for both canyons, including the drive along FR 189.
