Granary Canyon - Moab
Date: 04/10/2021
We drove around the paved way on 313. Started around 9am. Upper canyon was pretty straightforward and had 8-9 rappels. The lower canyon took us a bit to figure out how to reach the pothole rappel. We had to scramble down two thin slots on the right. At the final bridge rappel, there was no webbing, so a fiddlestick would have worked on the bridge. We ended up adding some webbing. Hike out was OK. Took 6 hours for three of us. (Tyler, Clint and myself)

This was our third canyon of the day. We got off track when following the wash, but used the GPS on the app. The rappels are great. There were newly installed bolts on the left of the first rappel. Paper said they would be ready on 4/10. There are bolts on the left side of the Morning Glory bridge rappel. Ideally, you would exit out Grandstaff. We didn't have two cars, so we had to hike back around and it took a while to get back to the car. It got dark as we were trying to find the place to scramble out. It's a steep section where you scramble out, but easier than it looks. Took us about 3 hours due to the navigation challenges and hiking out in the dark. Would be great with the kids if we could spot a car at Grandstaff.

Pool Arch Canyon - Moab
Date: 04/09/2021
Tyler, Clint and I did three canyons today and this was the middle canyon. The alternate rappel next to Pool Arch was great. You have to back track a minute around the left side to get to it. The final rappel was a little exposed and we couldn't tell if it would reach double stranded on a 200ft rope. Took us about 3.5 hours.

Bow and Arrow Canyon - Potash Road

Couple guided groups ahead of us. There is an additional rappel RDC shortly after passing Longbow arch. When the canyon starts to descend, head right up to the wall and then walk down canyon 30 M.
