Introduction
We developed this as a great training canyon. It is quick and easy, with 4 raps to 50 feet. The watercourse is clean, rock quality good on all of the raps.
This is a great way to just get outside for a quick run or to introduce folks to the sport of canyoneering!
Approach
Follow Bear Mountain Trail approximately 0.8 miles to the coordinates for R1.
Descent
R1: 30' off a tree. Caution!: Avoid standing on large flake RDC!!
R2: 30' off a tree.
R3: 40' off a tree to the first shelf, or 60' including the slab. Or moderate down climb RDC from crack to slab.
Continue down canyon completing beginner downclimbs and navigating some pretty narrow sections.
R4: 50' off a bolt anchor in the middle of the watercourse. Last 15' is overhung.
Exit
Use the same exit as Bobcats. Follow the watercourse a short distance until a faint use trail appears LDC. Head east until you meet back up with Bear Mountain Trail.
