Introduction[edit]
Only recommend this in combination with other canyons in the area. Not worthy of the long hike for itself alone.
Scott Swaney wrote, "I was mainly using this canyon to head further over to other new canyons, but it is a pretty canyon itself. Mainly a hike, but it does have one nice technical drop and other fun narrow sections to check out. If you are using this canyon anyway, you should drop into this little impressive, short, fun slot."
Approach[edit]
Descent[edit]
One rappel. No downclimbs.
Exit[edit]
Hike south (right) to Marble-Cottonwood Canyon Road. Recommend not staying too close to the edge of the mountains, because that will lead to intense disappointment (especially in the dark) when you repeatedly get cliffed out at each drainage exiting the mountain range.
2:30 walk back to road.
