Lost and Found Canyon - Arches National Park
Date: 05/07/2019
Fun, very beautiful. Tricky downclimbing without a spot but fine for climbers. Combine with MMI - bring climbing shoes for 5th class Exit. Definitely take 2nd class Exit for approach and save 1 hour. Approach 1.5 hours, Canyon 2 hours, Exit 1.5 hours. Camp at trailhead night before would be fun.

U-Turn Canyon - Arches National Park

Fun, short, casual. Last rap makes it down with 200 foot rope. Make sure one pulls to the right to not have both strands in a groove.

Elephant Butte - Arches National Park

Fun, beautiful, not very long. Tricky down and upclimbing so go with someone who can really climb and spot. Enter Arches by 8 am and have breakfast at pullout.

Medieval Chamber - Moab
Date: 05/02/2019
Short, casual, pleasant with car shuttle. Not much exercise but that can be nice sometimes! Better to rap on one line. First rap just makes it with 200 foot rope. Also take other line down with last person to avoid twisting.

Cassidy Arch Canyon - Capitol Reef

Easy, casual, gorgeous. Relatively short hike up, 8 rappers and short walk back to the car. One section of down climbing. I think I could even lead this one! No water.

Spencer Canyon - Escalante

Motherfucker! Minor meltdown at the start of the deep dark slot when I went into it untethered. Worked better the 2nd time around. Lots of water, Canyon is challenging and interesting.

Egypt 2 Canyon - Escalante

A long drive on a very washboard road. Thanks Saul and Judy! Fun but a lot of bad driving for a relatively short canyon? No water, a bit of downclimbing. Would have linked with Egypt 1 but the skies looked threatening.
