Introduction[edit]
A short tributary of Upper Fall Creek (Upper Fall Creek). Not a destination in itself but if you are interested in checking out a seldom seen portion of Fall Creek this canyon is a good entrance to it.
Approach[edit]
Same approach as Great Falls of the Fox Short Cut until you leave the road.
Descent[edit]
The first obstacle is a short downclimb to a small sandy area where there is a bush anchor for rappel 1. The short (20 ft) downclimb can be rappelled from the top instead of being downclimbed if desired. However there is poison oak in the pull/rappel lion DCR that I didn't particularly want to play around in.
R1: 65 feet anchored of a small bush DCL
R2: 35? feet anchored to a bush DCL
Short downclimb after rap 2 brings you to the top of rap 3. Multiple anchor possibilities which will affect length of rappel.
R3: 40 feet anchored from a bush center canyon.
Just a little further and you're at the junction with Upper Fall Creek.
Exit[edit]
Continue down Upper Fall Creek. You can exit where the Fall Creek Fire Road intersects the canyon (Pretty brushy and not well defined) or just continue on down Fall Creek until it meet's Big Tujunga, the more likely option.
