My son Trevor 13 and I went through Moonshine on Oct 30 and enjoyed the spectacular beauty of this slot and the history as well The downclimbs are all straightforward and fun I upclimbed all of them to make sure I could in case we had to retrace our route The upclimbs in the West Fork were a different story The traditional crux was relatively easy compared to the next 2 upclimbs out of potholes Like Ryan states, the canyon can change with every flood and obviously its in burley mode as we made it out of the fi...

Did this hike today It's a good one It's almost easier to scramble than try to find the trail At the top, by the arch if you hike up the hill to the south, it opens up to about a half mile of class 4 scrambling On the map above it calls it Grey Points Super fun

We used 2x60m dynamic ropes and both middle points were at the bottom of the "37m" I know there is a lot of stretch but we seem to have this happening a lot, bringing 2 ropes, when one would do it

Thanks Are you aware of any other exit points in the vicinity of the bridge

10/17/2021 -- My wife and I had a blast It was pretty full after recent rains We had to stem, chimney or bridge over something like 30-40 pools It was a blast doing all that stemming without having a lot of exposure or penalty points Took a bit under six hoursNote that there are anchors set up where I think you should probably stem After the first rappel there's two short downclimbs with an anchor above them That spot also has some really bad rope grooves because the pull is really bad My wife and I did them as a d...

Just ran through the canyon with a group of 5 of varying abilities I rigged, vs someone in our party hasn't rap'd in 4 years Took about 6 hours in total to the Grand Wash road All hardware / rap anchors looked solid The second rap anchor has a loose hanger but the bolt is fine; replaced the webbing and left a sling there as an extension for additional tether points No snow or ice that has affected the route as of 11/27/21 Great way to experience Cassidy Arch for the first time!

Ran Pandora's Box on 4/30/2022 with one other guy, but we ran into two other groups-one in front of us and one behind The canyon was beautiful and varied, but probably the most physically demanding canyon I have done Getting through the tight slots is exhausting and hard on any exposed skin I recommend wearing old clothes and knee and elbow pads We got ropes stuck on raps 1 and 2, but were lucky that the group behind us freed them for us Both have rope grooves that make a tricky pull We took the Meek's Mesa exit, w...

I didn't use your waypoints because the other site had more intermediate points going up to the mesa Because it was getting late in the day I wanted to make sure we were taking the most direct route possible FWIW I didn't see any cairns on our route, so maybe yours would have been better

I have done this canyon probably 50 times over the years Yes, you can drop in from the top and hike down through it all the way past the last GORGEOUS section and then turn around and go back up it The biggest challenge is the dry fall about 3/4 of the way down There is usually a rope ladder there If there is not, don't do it and expect to get back up! However there are a couple exit points after the Corkscrew on the left, but it makes a long hike MUCH easier going back up the way you came, and exiting on the east ...

I took advantage of the amazing weather here and climbed the Nipple yesterday Thanks to richardwoodruff@verizonnet for restoring cairns and to Ryan, of course, for his awesome app with maps and details The last bit to the tip of the nip was a little nerve wracking I wouldn't normally be nervous about it, because the way up was straightforward enough and the holds were good, but the price of failure is high People shouldn't take the risk if they have fear of exposure; the views just below the tip are awesome too! If...
