Comments: 19 hours car to car. I was feeling pretty sick on the approach, but decided to continue on with the descent. Once we got to the drop in we realized that we couldn't slide down the snow/ice so we had to rappel thousands and thousands of feet until we got stuff we could slide/ walk on. The glissading was probably my favorite part of the canyon, it was a lot of fun. We fiddlesticked almost every rap. After we finally got out of the snow section it was starting to get dark, when we got to a section that had a lot of pools and possible anchor challenges we decided to bail. The exit sucked. The gully we used to climb out of the canyon was uber brushy but it was a short distance to the top of the first ridge. After we got to the mini ridge we went down into a small drainage and after a little bit I realized I had lost my phone. Everyone agreed to look for it so we donned our headlamps and found it after a short time. Once we got to the big ridge it took us hours to get back to the cars. That ridge seemingly went on forever.
