Long day, but fun. Long drive. The exit requires some route finding, taco led us a bit astray so fact check. We got our rope seriously stuck in a crack on the last rap when Bat rapped first so she had to ascend and then after like 5 min of fanegaling and dangling over the edge on his cow tail taco finaly fot it loose and saved our asses. Overall a very fun day and a very cool final rap. The exit was very steep slickrock.
Awesome canyon, super pretty. Steep exit that mom would hate. Ignore the technical potholes because they were super easy to get through. Nothing super narrow, but tons of fun. The anchors were somewhat marginal, so we used a meat anchor to back up for some of them. Mom would hate the anchors.
With taco and alexis. Mom would not have enjoyed because of tough exit. Car shuttle very nice to have. Good lunch spot after second set of narrows. We liked the third set of narrows the best because while they were tighter, they were not slanted like the second set. The second set was our least favorite because of the slant.
Did left fork, was bueateful. The hike in required a bit of routefinding because someone knocked over the carins. Watch out: got rope stuck on one of the rappels and had to cut it. Bueateful but short. Kinda busy
East fork. Prefer west because closer and slanted slot fun. The east has some akward narrows
Really fun canyon but lots of sliding. Harder than Arscenic, longer than arscenic. The final rappel is really akward if done in two stages but rope pinch risk if done in one. Arscenic is preferred, but this is still super fun. Can do arscenic and this in a single day.
Super fun, ran in about three hours with mom
Climber's exit is better mom and I both agreed. Hog 1 is a bit unrelenting, mom frustrated that there was never a good spot to stop and eat lunch
We did the south Fork. The narrows were super fun and it was an all-around gorgeous canyon. The south starts off with more of rappels and the bottom part is more fun obstacles. Some repels have marginal angers. Mom freaked out on the climb out again and the climb out is really steep slick rock. This is the fuckitty fuck canyon but that was the north fork.
West fork with Mom, this is the same as the canyon with the scouts but we saw them several years ago
