Introduction[edit]
Constrychnine is spectacular, with unique rock formations, and dark narrows. The rappels, including a 180+ foot rappel are outstanding! There are three mandatory rappels and one optional rappel, which could be downclimbed.
Approach[edit]
Descent[edit]
From the wash drop down the first 50' into the canyon proper, going 100' before you hit the first rappel. It's a long one off a deadman's and spends the entire summer baking. Plan to bring a significant amount of webbing to potentially replace anchors.
The next rappel is also off a deadman or a tree about 20-30' back from the canyon edge, once again, it get's full sun so expect to have to replace webbing.
Rappels[edit]
- R1: 115 feet - Anchored from a large rock that is set back about 20 feet. Starts off overhung.
- R2: 165 feet - Anchored from a large rock.
- R3: 90 feet - Anchored from chockstones.
- R4: 35 feet - Anchored from a deadman. Drops into a pool.
