Completed on February 16th, 2020 and the 2nd rap was snow/ice free Rangers told us someone had fallen at this point while being belayed out to the anchor and was badly hurt She was able to complete the canyon and is okay There is no place to add additional protection while traversing to the anchors Belaying is a good idea, but you can still get seriously hurt from a huge swingGood news is you can check the condition of the 2nd anchor before committing See my photo for what to look for from the topSuper fun canyon -...

Looking at the Sentinel satellite image from 2021-04-19 in Caltopo I don't see any snow in the area There was snow a month earlier on 3/19 but it looks like it had all melted by 4/9 BUT every year is different Post your question again in April outside of 4/9 to 4/16 when I'll be in Kanab Creek and I'll check the latest imagePS You need the "Pro" level on Caltopo $50/year to see the weekly Sentinel satellite images But they are invaluable in the shoulder seasons as the newest is never more that a week old So you can...

Descended 5/21/2022 Group of 2 took 4 hours with a visit to the ruins A bad foot cramp slowed one of us down in a lot of the sand/gravel walking, but it was well worth it This canyon feels especially adventurous, even for how technically straightforward and physically easy it was The narrows and technical section were short, but one of the most beautiful slot chambers I've visited The adventurous exit and visit to the ruins all made this well worth it! We even encountered a gopher snake drinking from a small seep a...

For anyone pondering this, the final dryfall on the descent that "yields easily with a spot" does yield easily But if you make a mistake it has serious/potentially fatal consequences We had our large dog along due to the pic showing it was possible, and the thought of working him over that move was terrifying He wanted nothinng to do with it and neither did I High odds that one of us would have taken a 30' or more tumble over a few ledgesThe good news: You can totally bypass that move if you head up the side canyon...
