There was a fatality from a reported rappel anchor failure the weekend of 4/16/22 So far, no clear details have been found that outline what actually happened Based on the limited reports available, one of the three rappel anchors in the canyon might be missing https://grippedcom/news/climber-dies-in-rappelling-accident-in-utah/

Heard on the news one person died yesterday and 11 were airlifted due to the cold One still missing

Warning the large chokestone between repel 3 and 4 is not secure when i was down climbing i grabbed it from the back and it started to roll forward i just let go pushed away into the pool and it returned to its spot In other news keeper hole wasnt bad pushed off the backside to breach Dead sheep is just skin and bones now approach is amazing So errie hiking the closed and now unmaintained observation point trail out since weeping rock has closed

Amazing slot canyon loop if you do PAB and Spooky Make sure you hang a left out of spooky to get you back to the trail that heads back up tothe parking lot Parking got a pretty crowded this Memorial day weekend Probably better to visit on a non-holiday weekend

I was just in the East fork of Big Spring over the weekend I thought I'd report that the trailhead parking spot you mention has been covered with cut sage brush wood and rocks in order to hide it and discourage anyone parking there, likely by the BLM I only did 3/4ths of the East fork, but I would like to report for anyone planning to visit that there is a somewhat tight part that may discourage claustrophobes, my brother asked to exit early as he was not comfortable in the small parts It's nothing compared to Mid...
