Introduction

A rugged canyon near Tonto Basin, AZ with a few rappels and several downclimbs. The northern-facing drainage receives minimal sun exposure during the wintertime, resulting in ice sheets developing on the vertical obstacles.

Approach

Dirt road from highway 188 to turn down to parking should be fine for passenger vehicle with good tires and driven carefully. All wheel drive vehicle probably preferred to park at trailhead down road that turns down.

Follow trail 66 until it crosses creek, about 1/4 mile. Head off trail up left. Follow ridge line up. Hike down slope into canyon.

Descent

R1: 50' off of cairn anchor. Optional downclimb LDC.

R2: 100' off of small tree LDC. Best rappel of canyon. Shear drop.

R3: 45' off of rock pinch RDC. Optional downclimb LDC.

R4: 30' off of tree LDC. Optional challenging downclimb.

Notable downclimb a few feet after R4. Some may want to rappel. About 10'.

Exit

Follow canyon down. Some downclimbs. When drainage starts getting overwhelmingly brushy, exit up LDC. Hike to connect with trail 66. Follow trail back to vehicle.

Background

First known descent by Nick Clegg, Melissa Gibbons, Jacob Cowan, Cole Anderson, and Erek Burek on February 6, 2022.
