Just want to second the caution on the 2nd to last rappel We were one of those unfortunate groups when we did this canyon in July 2015 that got our rope stuck in the chockstone pulling it Trying to free it caused us to exit the canyon after dark, and we ended up just cutting the rope since we couldn't see enough to ascend and weren't sure if there was somewhere to set up an anchor on the chockstone On the bright side, the Narrows in the dark is gorgeous! And we actually opted for the alternate approach, using a 2 c...

Anchors still look good on this route, water level is low right now so first two potholes were completely dry, the final one before the first rappel is still a swimmer but we were able to leap to the ledge on the right side and not get wet! Lots of poison ivy at the bottom of 2nd rap Did a double rope rappel for 2nd rap but one 70m dynamic climbing rope gets you to the bottom with rope to spareGet a free arches permit before you go      https://archespermitsnpsgov/

New webbing on all anchors as described below 2nd rap has pile of rocks as anchor as well as someone slung a pocket in the area described by scottbordon, there are no bolts there for 2nd and 3rd rappels one 70m climbing rope makes it to the ground Make sure to get a free permit from arches      https://archespermitsnpsgov/

Great canyon! The end turned out to be tighter than expected One in our party got her helmet wedged, so she had to be lifted from below to get free It was snug, but fun!

We completed this canyon yesterday 7/8/2017 and it was a very hot and dry experience With an early start we were able to beat most of the direct heat and find pockets of shade After dropping down into the ravine leading to the first rappel the taller members of the group above 5' 5'' opted for the higher path options to skip branches to the face All of the rappels are well worn with grooves and the webbing looked decent on all 9 drops opt for the far chains on the last drop Since it has been such a hot season, all ...

This is an excellent day trip to take with dogs, especially if you are trying to beat the heat of the St George area Temperatures are lovely in the summer, and the views are spectacular Hiking is easy and straightforward, if only a bit strenuous for the altitude Plenty of free and secluded camping back at Big John Flat, but yes you will have to put up with the incessant whir of ATVs during the daylight hours

After the wide crack the first 'piece' is a bolt without the hanger or head The head was replaced by climbing tape Also, to make matters worse it flexed under body weight Not sure this was always the caseI used a nut but if you pull on the wire in the wrong direction plan on taking a really bad fall Additionally, if you are under 5'10" I would say plan on bringing a stick clip for this section I was top stepping on my ladders and barely reached the bolt above This was pretty scary due to the sketchy piece! After t...

Did Mystery on 7/2/18 Just a few quick notes We encountered a few rattlesnakes on the hike in so be mindful during your hiking Also, the group right after us stuck their rope on the last one NOT the second to last one One of our group was able to ascend and free the rope for them Another group got their rope stuck the next day on the second to last rap and had sleepover in the canyon Moral of the storymind your ropes and check your pull before the last one descends

Great canyon on brown Friday/Thanksgiving weekend! A good amount of sliding/grinding on down climbs at the first part of the narrow section of the canyon so if you don't want to shred clothing, pick another canyon If you want to avoid the pothole near the last repel, there is an anchor and webbing around a bush up on the left side Last anchor was sketchy and, as mentioned previously, there's not a lot of rocks around to build a deadman to backup the wedged anchor that had single strand of daisy-chained webbing W...

All anchors and webbing in Hog 4 Miss Piggy were good as of 6/2/19 Look for the small pile of rocks to the right of the solar panel that marks the start of the higher up trail to the canyons, the trail that heads down looks well trodden but will lead you astray Hog 4 starts with a couple of down climbs that are best with some partner spotting, and then opens up to a series of fun drops Our group would recommend bringing at least 200ft of rope due to some spots and drops that didn't jump out as obvious in the beta T...
