Introduction[edit]
A steep Drainage that lands you in the heart of the Supai pools of Woods canyon. A high clearance vehicle will be needed to get you to the start of this route. This is not a memorable canyon, and does not have the best quality in the beginning or end. The destination is where the true value of this route lies.
Approach[edit]
From the parking location at the end of Fr 801 and near Jacks Tank, Head north east along the mesa towards the rims edge. The route starts at a large basalt boulder pile with amazing views into Wood's Canyon.
Gear up here.
Descent[edit]
The Descent starts with moderate downclimbs down large basalt boulders. The first ledge is thick with locust bush but the bush clear up as you drop down into the canyon.
5 rappels under 100' will get you to the canyon floor.
Exit[edit]
After reaching the bottom head downstream navigating around the supai pools. These pools hold water year round bur can be skillfully maneuvered around if one prefers to stay dry. After the sculpted pools and narrows end you begin boulder hopping very briefly to the exit ridge on the right side of the canyon.
If you stay on route the exit is not too bad.
