Introduction[edit]
Great shorter day option. Also a bail-out option if Charon ends up being too long a day.
Approach[edit]
Follows the same approach as Charon but cuts out earlier. Enjoys views down into Styx once up on the ridge.
Descent[edit]
Lots of down climbs at the beginning of the canyon with more rappels in the second half.
