Comments: Some of the (many) downclimbs had anchors constructed at the top, so if you're using Bluugnome's beta your count will be off. Replaced webbing and rebuilt most of the anchors. We left a few that are OK but could use some cleanup.

    Comment: It was chilly at Dante's View, but we quickly warmed up hiking to the descent ridge. "Hiking" down the descent ridge is hard on old joints! Trekking poles would be useful. It took us about 3 hours to get to rappel 1. After which the canyon itself is straightforward with many rappels and downclimbs. Many of the anchors needed webbing replacement, some were OK.

    Comment: Great day in the canyon, with beautiful metamorphic rock and even a rappel through a small arch! Many cairn anchors with a few hand placed chocks and fiddle stick rappels in there. Most webbing was in good condition. We were a little surprised that we did a total of 25 rappels when the original ropewiki beta said 17 so I updated the page.

    Comment: We setup the shuttle at Dante's peak. While downhill is always preferred, prepare for a beating on your knees and thighs with the 2000 ft elevation loss (approach). All anchors were in good condition and we did not rebuild any. The slots and different colored rocks were pretty but I could have done without the walks inbetween the raps. All 3 of us had rope and leapfrogging made the descent go quickly.
