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 diwnclimbable slab, or 65' to very bottom.
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.
