Comments: What a fantastic linkup to make a more full day in canyons. The linkup was pretty straightforward, we opted to detour around the canyon right before the drop-in to Constrychnine Canyon, skipping a short 5th class climb with a bunch of elevation loss and then immediate gain. Besides that stuck to the route and had a fantastic time. Folks should know there is some 4th class scrambling in canyon you go up to complete the figure 8 with one arguably 5th class friction move near the top of the canyon.

Comment: Solid route and highly recommended. We didn't have any raps in Slideanide (except entrance rappel) and only about 4 raps in Constrychnine. Water was either avoidable or only thigh deep. The upclimb canyon was a blast. The KML file was spot on, thanks to whomever did that. Enjoy!

Comment: A very cool combo of canyons back to back! Super fun! Lots to see. We did only 1 rappel in Slideanide, the first one to get into the canyon everything else was down-climbable. Lots of anchors rigged for those uncomfortable but this canyon really lends it's self to downclimbing and stemming. Both canyons have super cool dark sections/rooms unique to each one. Both have incredible sculpting and beautiful sticky rock. Lots of cracks to stem over, chutes to elevator down and rooms to admire. Nothing too crazy tight, very enjoyable! We did 2 rappels in Constrychine, both were pretty fun, biggest being the 180. There was one very easily avoidable pool at the end. The un-named upclimb canyon is easy upclimb stemming and fairly short. There is some mild slabby 5th class at the end and also more super mild brief 5th class on the exit. Both canyons were super fun, definitely recommend this loop. We almost added Arsenic on to the end since you pass it on the exit, but everyone else was tired.
