The big wall rappel is what makes this canyon great. Took us 3 hours to complete including the big wall rappel and exit.
Took 2 hours to complete. Bring 40ft webbing & rope for raps up to 30-40 feet. I would not recommend down climbing anything in this canyon.
Canyon was wet for 2nd half. Glad we had our wetsuits. Definitely due it again.
It rained all day before filling this canyon with water. We did without wetsuits, and were very cold. I would have recommended at least a shorty for this time of year. 2 swimmers (30 feet long) & lots of water. Reminds me of a little Pinecreek.
We only rappelled 2-3 times & climbed everything else. Canyone IMO was only mediocre. 1 wet spot waste deep, I wouldn't bring a wetsuit. Canyon with 6 people only took us 2 hours & we got stuck behind another group on the last rap. Last rap 200' was the best part. Careful about a rope eating crack on the pull !!!
All water you could get around. We did it when it was partially snowing without wetsuits. Short & sweet. Last rappel is the best part of this canyon, plus there is no approach if you have 4WD.
We did FULL IMLAY. Raps up to 200' w/ over 50 raps. We spent the night in canyon. 5mm full wetsuit & neo socks/gloves is a must. Potholes were 3/4 full & required hooking on most. Awesome beautiful canyon !!!
Instead of spending the night by the lake hike east & camp away from the groups. Adds another couple miles to your total hiking but gives you silence & access to plenty of firewood.
