Comments: The 5 rappels before the confluence, and two after are very pretty and fun. The committing gorge after the confluence looked unrunnable at the flows we saw, but was easy to scramble ldc to where we could rappel back into the river afterwards. The exit is heinous. Since the beta was written, the "trail" out has become completely overgrown with Manzanitas and other bushes. It took us five hours to exit due to route finding and bushwhacking. This canyon is not worth the effort of the exit.
