Trip report URL:

Comments: Documentation trip led by Scott Swaney. Removed and packed out a great deal of webbing no fresher than 2011. Many anchors were rigged to be retrievable/releasable, so the next descent party should bring plenty of webbing and rapides if not planning to employ this same technique.

We used three vintage pitons DCR for the big drop, which comes in at around 180'. The other set of pitons (DCL above the drop) are loose. A cairn anchor for this drop could also be constructed on the ledge directly above the lip, although rocks may have to be farmed from slightly upcanyon for anchor material.

Great team and trip!
