"Again the canyon opens allowing exits The next section starts with the canyon making a hard right, and dropping These drops can be bypassed easily by climbing down the boulders on the left Continue through this slot section to where it opens The next section is the final section of slot, and contains the swim Suit up before entering the slot, there is not much room once you enter the slot Right before the first water, most will likely need to stem 4 m 14 ft above a constriction, then back down to the canyon fl...

Pensive Putterman, just off Kane Creek road, is another short, easy tower to summit Due to it's proximity next to the road, climbing it often draws a crowd of on-lookers If you are doing Happy Turk Hoodoo across the road, be sure to climb this as well

road into the canyon is most definently a 4X4 road if you have a high ground clearance you can drive further down the river bead closer to the oil Derrick to save on some time easy and short approach the dry-fall has tons of rocks if you wish to add a rappel or you can make your way down on the left i don't know the full distance but we rappelled down it with a 200 ft rope canyon is quite easy with some pools of water that can be avoided the first largest pothole may need a partner assist to get out there may be ...

Yellow Brick Road is one of the most beautiful areas around The area is not the place for tight, deep, dark slots, but rather open areas, big views, and an incredible bridge Unique features abound on this one Yellow Brick Road is more of a hike with a few amazing rappels If you are looking for a technically challenging slot fest, look elsewhere Be sure to bring your camera Penny Martens and I first checked out this area back one very dreary winter day in the early 2000s Having spotted Tik-Tok Bridge, we came back ...

No one in my close canyoneering circles had done Drill Hole Canyon, except for one person that gave it a mediocre review of "it's ok" Armed with that less than glowing review, I decided to check it out one hot July day Perhaps it was the heat delirium talking, but I thought the canyon was gorgeous and a lot of fun! It is not as narrow or dramatic as its nearby neighbor Upper Red Breaks, but I think still charming The cross j...

Three Canyon is heavily visited by river rafters floating Labyrinth Canyon by hiking up from the river Surprisingly, however, it is often overlooked by canyoneers Well suited to beginners, or those looking for a less technical canyon, Three Canyon is stinkingly beautiful and a nice easy outing The two rappels or one long one if not breaking up the rappels in the canyon are at the very beginning while the rest of the canyon consists of hiking in a deep, lush canyon Exiting the canyon requires either a bit of 56 clim...

No Kidding has a bit of a reputation! It was originally at least as far as I know, descended by Jason Pease in late fall/early winter Jason, in a bold fashion, descended the canyon solo The canyon turned out to be short but a gem I met Jason shortly after when a group met up with him for the second descent to clean up a few bits of gear he had left during the first descent On the second descent, everyone in the group was impressed by the challenges the canyon offered, and the boldness and ingenuity Jason showed du...

Ah, on my first trip through Micro Death Hollow in about 2005, the big first rappel is what left a lasting impression on me Re-visiting the canyon in 2015 left me surprised at how much action and fun is packed in such a short section of canyon This is a canyon with a little bit of everything You start the day with a mellow approach to a stunning 84 m rappel down a water worn groove into the belly of the monster This is followed by a keeper pothole and some sinuous and tight narrows Though not as tight as Egypt 3, ...

Ah, Sandthrax! What do you write as an introduction to a canyon that needs no introduction Well, first off, a little about the history of the canyon Steve Allen descended it back in the day, calling it Dog Gone Then, in 2001, an ill-fated group Shane Burrows, Hank Moon, and Chris Raver tried to descend the canyon They were stopped by the climbing crux, spent the night engineering a route out the side using bolts and free climbing, and reached the rim just about the time Search and Rescue were going to reach them T...

10/30/21 2 people in group I am 5'10" 172# my wife is 5'7" 140# I appologize for the long report I was a little worried about this one because I could not find any recent reports The canyon started off fine But it starting going south at the 3rd to last rappel/downclimb There is a secure chockstone with some webbing and quick link see the above photo It is very narrow in getting to and setting up the anchor at that chockstone but doable My wife rappelled down and I down climbed using the long tail of the webbing a...
