Introduction[edit]
new First descent of the West Fork of Miracle Max Canyon. Completed with Rick Kent, et al (see trip report below)
Approach[edit]
SAME APPROACH AS FOR MIRACLE MAX CANYON, but cut down the ridge or wash to the left after you pass Prepare to Die's drop in. The approach is shorter than Miracle Max, and after a few rappels you can drop into Miracle Max if you want, and you will only miss one of the MM raps. So it can be run entirely as it's own canyon, or as a side entrance (shorter) into MM. 3.8 m or less
