Gorgeous. A few potholes in the beginning still filled with water. Riparian zone at the end is stunning.
really chill, dry, there is a bonus downclimb/rappel at the beginning that is not listed on the ryan beta
Very icy still, anchors in great shape. Tough approach.
very difficult approach with a 1500 ft elevation gain. rap 9 is sketchy as hell, it is just knotted webbing shoved into the rock cracks, definitely recommend a meat anchor. must cross the Virgin River at the beginning and end of the approach and exit. pretty cold, but you dry off quickly on the climb up. all anchors are natural so you should know how to assess anchors well, or bring someone you does.
great weather, a little bit of unavoidable water at the end of the canyon. it could be full body stemmed, but is difficult for shorter people.
left fork, on rap 3 make sure to throw your rope out as there are two tiers.
lots of alternate routes at the beginning, different rappel options. anchors in good shape, not a ton of water, it was avoidable.
