Introduction

A fun, short canyon off the 1st bench of Bear Mountain. Arguably the biggest bang for your buck in the Bear Mountain circuit, this route offers a mild yet scenic approach straight to the goods, ending with a beautiful free-hanging rappel.

Approach

Start at Bear Mountain trailhead. Cross the street and work your way to the first bench. After approaching the first bench, take the faint social trail right (east), traversing past large alcoves and landing in the slick rock halfpipe.

Descent

R1: 25' from a bolted anchor LDC.

R2: 30' from a bolted anchor LDC.

R3: 95' from a bolted anchor station LDC to the very bottom. (2-stages). Set rope RDC to avoid cactus on first ledge.

R4: 170' off tree RDC. 130' to first ledge.

Exit

Drainage- Bypass the dead trees at the head of the drainage on the left side. Get back in the drainage. Boulder hop to main trail. If there is heavy flow or flash floods advisory this is not reccomended.

Alternate Exit- Exit high left on slabby shelves heading into Fay canyon. Navigate through dense brush back to main trail and out of the canyon. Reccomended during moderate to heavy flow.

If you did not drop a shuttle vehicle at Fay Canyon TH then walk 3/4 of a mile to the Bear mountain TH.
