Summary[edit]

At the first long, low-angle tiered waterfall in the lower section, a canyoneer reached the end of the fixed handline and tried sliding the last 15 ft into the pool below. His foot caught on a ledge and he broke his fibula. With his partner's support he was able to complete the remainder of the canyon.

The fixed handline has since been removed from this location and replaced with a single bolt on canyon left.
