Summary[edit]

We encountered another party with an injured member while descending the canyon on November 4, 2024. The person in question was being lifted/hauled back to the mid-way point to exit the canyon. They had broken their leg while attempting a jump in the lower section after R2. Be cautious while descending this jump!
