Introduction

A hidden gem in the remote sycamore wilderness. This route is located off a gated road. Mountain bikes, e-bikes, atv's, and OHV less than 4 feet wide can access the road. Utilizing these resources could eliminate the 3.7 miles each way of bumpy road walking. The sneak exit is brushy and steep but makes this route doable in a day.

Due to the remote nature and keeper pothole this route is only reccomended for experienced canyoneers craving a long adventure in a rugged and pristine wilderness.

The R rating is for the keeper pothole and remote location.

Retrievable anchors used on 4 out of 6 rappels. Bring webbing.
