Introduction[edit]
A long trek out to a remote part of the Secret Mountain Wilderness. Multiple slots spaced between lush, old world forest with an Aztec jungle feel!
Approach[edit]
Follow the map down and up hills, through the woods, over and along various drainages. Just when you think you may never arrive, suddenly you have!
Descent[edit]
R1: 40' Rock Pinch. 2 stage, pools
R2: 70' Log pile. 2 stage
R3: 50' Rock pinch RDC
Downclimb log
R4: 70' Tree LDC into seasonal pool
Downclimb chute slide

R6: 20' Rock pinch LDC
R7: 60' Rock pinch set 15' back
R8: 30' Rock pinch LDC. Stop at first stage, pull rope, then downclimb slide
Exit[edit]
Travel the sculpted water way. Keep an eye out for a few turns on the map, mostly direct and obvious. Fairly even grade with a few short obstacle climbs. Eventually becomes bushy and thorny for a short section as you gain the first saddle. Near the end becomes steep but footing is decent as you climb to rejoin the approach trail.
