Comment: We had a great time exploring Zero G. There was plenty of water throughout the canyon, and several pools were deep enough to jump. Partner assistance was required to escape the keeper pothole. There are no mandatory rappels in Zero G, and I downclimbed the whole canyon, but some members of our group decided to rappel the final sequence. The existing anchors were in good condition. Our group of five completed the canyon car to car in 2.5 hours.

Comment: Quick run through on our drive back to SLC. No rope needed for this group though you have to be pretty comfortable with down climbing and stemming (especially the last squeeze + V crack). Outside temps were 90+ and we ran into no other groups so no wetsuits were fine (but if you run slow you probably want them).

Comment: Started out as a fun quick run on our way back home but turned into a bit of a nightmare once we ran into a school group with 15 students + teachers slowly making their way through the canyon. We waited for an hour at the pothole for them to clear and then attempted to pass before the final rappel. They initially declined to let us pass and were bringing students 1 by 1 to the final rappel. When we arrived they had gotten the first student through and each student was taking around 20 minutes. The staff had an ineffective "safety line" made with what looked like dynamic climbing rope that was rigged as a mildly tensioned highline from the large chokestone to a bolt that I've never seen before about ~20' from the final rappel anchors. Terrified students where then doing 20' stemming backed up by a "safety line" which would have immediately stretched and dropped them to the canyon floor had it been loaded. After a couple students had been walked through (~45min) the group changed course and offered to let us pass and before the rappel we heard the student ask if the 10 foot fall that had happened to "Grant" could happen to her. The staff advised that "those systems aren't in play today".

Comment: Water is still at a great level that swims will be required but hot enough that they are desired. Ran through this fairly quickly, my partner was small enough to squeeze through before the chokestone but I was glad to have a rope to squeeze through right after it. This canyon packs a punch despite being relatively short, swimming, stemming, chimneying, a pothole, and a beautiful slot section. It has it all. I would echo some previous reports that this is a great canyon for folks that have some climbing background with competent leadership, it's not the best canyon if just starting out without a knowledgeable leader.

Comment: The conditions of the canyon were standard, weather was nice and warm. Due to some miscommunication ended up taking some noobs on this one. Would not recommend for noobs. Ended up taking twice as long due to group experience level. Everyone still had a good time. I especially enjoyed it and look forward to returning with an intermediate group.

Comment: Did this one on a 90 degree day after L Eardley. It's splashy and fun! There was lots of water, but it was so warm out that wetsuits were not desired. The semi keeper can be stemmed over or surmounted with a pack toss or partner assist.

Comment: There is an 8 foot drop out of the pothole sequence which has a webbing handline. Pothole was escaped with partner assist and is dry. A few pools which can either be avoided with stemming or waded through with minimal difficulty. One short swim is required on the final pool. The chockstone leading to the final pool has a bolt above it down canyon left. Note that stemming the wall to get up to that chockstone could be challenging for some beginners. This canyon can be difficult for those who are new as it requires some confidence with stemming.

Comment: Road Trip Ryan lists this as beginners friendly. My opinion is this is an intermediate level Canyon requiring stemming, chimneying, and pothole escape skills
