Introduction
In the right conditions, Headless Hen offers non-stop keeper pothole action for even the most enthusiastic pothole escape artists.
Approach
Descent
The canyon can be completed using ghosting techniques. Techniques used to descend the canyon consists of: potshots - throw bags, sandtraps, meat anchors, assisted down-climbs, jumps, or ascending using mechanical ascenders or prussiks. No hooks or deadman anchors (no rocks were available) were necessary with these techniques. Many potholes were partially filled with water as of Oct 3rd, 2015.
