    Comment: The bolts are well placed in this canyon. The canyon was still trickling so some of the rappeling was slick with algae. Some of the access beta was old and has been updated. For the exit, we traversed immediately LDC but then had to traverse over into the loose gulley. If you do either exit in the LDC gullies, bringing garden clippers or shears will greatly help. This exit is exposed and several of us ran out of water and could have used more on the exit, which got quite hot.

    Comment: Split into two rappels, one at the top and a second on the second station with the large ledge. All bolts are still in great condition, replaced webbing on second station. Retrieved ropes from the top so left no webbing at the top anchor. Would advise to keep the top anchor without any webbing.

    Comment: Bolts and hangers in good condition. Opted to split in two rappels, the first 50' to the first ledge and ridged a 300' rope from the second ledge. There was about 10-15' of extra rope at the bottom. Please refer to photos: one of our viewed lengths of the rappels, and one showing the extra rope of at 300' rope from the first ledge.

    Comment: No webbing on any anchors despite fresh webbing being placed 4 months ago. All bolts are still good. Started later in the day and the exit was warm but a cool breeze was helpful. A very small about of water, more of a drip that didn't make it all the way down. Photo is from the top at the first station.

    Comment: All 3 bolt sets were good, but webbing wasn't. We replaced webbing at the top and first station. We opted to rappel 300' from the first station all the way down so we bypassed the second station were the 250' is normally rigged.

    Comment: Long rope turned into a tangled mess below the big rappel. Highly recommend rope bag and good rope management. The slabby stuff above Mildred is cool. Good day and the rest of the canyon was fairly chill. Parked the car shuttle down near Eagle Creek Falls.
