| Welcome! Canyons in the Pacific Northwest can be different from those you might be used to. Be ready for unlinked bolts, retrievable traverse lines, and challenging aquatic environments. For more on local practices, and the best way to get started in the region, check out the WCC Safety page.
- Unlinked Bolts - groups should be comfortable rigging unlinked bolts, either temporarily linking them for all but the last person, or using a passive redundancy method. Most importantly, if you find two bolts side by side that are unlinked, do not add webbing to them. Linking bolts designed to be unlinked will likely cause damage during seasonal floods.
- Traverse Lines - many canyons are rigged to allow traverse line access to an exposed anchor station. This should be done using self-belay or team belay techniques. Do not leave fixed lines in the canyons.
- Challenging Environments - the highly aquatic nature of PNW canyons can surprise many. Cold temperatures, slippery rocks, loud waterfalls, and strong currents all lead to unexpected problems. Do not underestimate the need for strong team work and technical proficiency. Belays are frequently not possible. Unattended gear will sink or float away. Sliding and jumping is the cause of most major injuries, so it's critical to effectively communicating water depth & submerged hazards.

Introduction
A very short but sweet slot with several fun downclimbs.
Approach
Walk up the obvious path from your car until you reach the end of the cliff on the right. Turn right then continue following along the base the cliff until you reach the top of the scree slope located at the beginning of the canyon.
Descent
Scramble down the scree slope, as the canyon narrows towards the slot. Enter the slot where you will soon be met with a few fun downclimbs through the short narrows (some less confident in downclimbing may opt to rappel or handline some of these). Once you finish the final down climb you will be just around the corner from the end of the slot.
Exit
Exit the canyon and turn left. Walk 200 feet down the trail to where your vehicle is parked.
