Introduction[edit]
A short canyon with one rappel, a few downclimbs, and a pretty narrows section that is quite worthwhile if you can catch it while flowing.
Typically descended in order to reach the scenic, non-technical narrows of nearby Micro Canyon. The one rappel in Ladder Canyon must be ascended in order to exit the canyon. Rope protection recommended to pad the lip.
