Introduction[edit]
GREAT FIRST DESCENT OF PROBABLY THE 2ND LONGEST RAPPEL IN DEATH VALLEY - 480 FEET - A CLASSIC TO DO AT THIS DATE
Approach[edit]
I SHOW THREE DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET UP. WE DID THE LONG ROUTE TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN THE FIRST TIME AND DID THE ENTIRE CANYON. SECONDLY, THE SHORT APPROACH FROM THE MOUTH AND THEN TURN OVER TO THE BIG DROP, BUT YOU MISS THE UPPER CANYON. THIRD WAY IS THE APPROACH TO ODIN CANYON AND THEN MOVE A LITTLE MORE TO REACH THIS CANYON
