8hrsC2C. Pi, Dwight, Brian. We strayed substantially to the north of Ryan’s approach line. No biggie. Trails are more defined than last time. Crossed west fork and went down Canyon 50’ to Ryan’s ramp out. Entered east fork on the left at the top. Several down climb partner assist spots and finally a mandatory 20 foot rappel into a knee deep pool. A 50 foot rope was fine for the raps BUT- The down canyon walk around bypassing the dryfall in West Fork involved some low angle, friction, climbing, and non-climbers would really like a solid 100’ hand line up it. The up, climbs in West Fork were challenging in at least two spots. Made an Etrier from the hand line at one point. Crux was likely an up-squeeze section near the end of the difficulties. Do not take dogs in this Canyon. This canyon was a very long and physical day. Kim and Bret would like it, but Roxy would not. Coming up the west fork was really beautiful and the highlight of the day.

6.5c2c,pie me toni jordan K&B, biffed exit lost 1Hr, took 70m & two 125ft ropes. Dry. Third big rap has hidden anchor inside chimney on rt- we used chock stone in waterway. First rap used 70m and one 125ft pull cord. Amazing canyon. Once on top of Mesa follow cutoff trail (not Ryan) back across head of Arscenic to trailhead

3.45c2c me, suzy. only rapped once (out of the pothole) after the big entry rap. a LOT of deep, dark, amazing, contorted shimmying. Easier than Chambers, but more squeezing for longer and almost as tight.

3hr. C2C, must swim, water not freezing in May, only need 30ft. hand-line *unless* you are not skinny- then take 100ft. rope for last rap to avoid tight squeeze. parked JLNU before wash & walked in. good beginner canyon, water is not sustained. semi-keeper is limit of my reach boosting Nancy.

Pretty hard to nail the approach! Go down canyon 50 ft. at the crossing of the top of the West (first) fork to continue the approach up an easy ramp. If we had not done it the day before it would have added an hour to our time. Down east, up west = total 5.5 hours car to car. all in all, a very physical day. East fork was good, West Fork was spectacular. West Fork has some fairly challenging up climbs.
