Introduction[edit]

Approach[edit]

Walk from your car to the top of the canyon. If you find yourself making any dangerous or difficult moves, then you are in the wrong place.

Descent[edit]

Several small rappels. Some will require deadman anchors in areas with few or no rocks. Recommended instead to have a sandtrap anchor to make this canyon much faster.

  • Tight squeeze downclimb
  • Deep in the slot
  • Easy stemming
  • Dirty pothole
  • Stunning downclimb
  • Elegant profile of the final string of potholes. All empty in photo. Some could be KPHs with the right conditions.
  • Exit[edit]
