#condtions Super fun canyon with beautiful views We were able to access the trailhead in a 2wd Rav 4 although it was pushing the limits of the car There is lots of standing water that was kind of gross but plenty warm We brought wet suits but never put them on The last section is super cool, but do not attempt it if you are not confident in your ability to stem and climb And what ever you do, do not, I repeat, DO NOT attempt to go u under the chalkstone on the last rappel I thought I could squeeze through the lowe...

It is no wonder they built a rest stop and view area on the rim of Eagle Canyon From the rim, it is deep, sheer walled, and dramatic This is a canyon that is impressive from the rim, but even more impressive to actually hike down into and visit up close My first visit to Eagle, in about 2005, was a full loop from the Rest Area down Eagle, up Forgotten, and back to a waiting car near the I-70 bridge over the middle part of the canyon This always stuck in my memory as a good day, but a bit of a slog Although a bit of...

So you want to get schooled on narrows slots School is in session! Shenanigans is one of the narrowest slot canyons I have done They don't get any narrower than this and still allow passage for me The canyon offers 3 distinct sections of slot Narrow, narrower, and REALLY narrow See the note above, bigger canyoneers simply will not fit through the last section There are 2 outs before the final claustrophobic inducing section If you have doubts, take them My First Time Through The first time I did the canyon all the ...

Being Shenanigans neighbor, Monkey Business likely is not appreciated as fully as it would be in another neighborhood The canyon provides a lot of bang for a short distance and makes for a nice 1/2-day outing I would rate this as a good beginner friendly canyon with competent leadership

went up from harris wash yesterday set on big west fork Whadoyaknow the coolest thing happened as we are in first narrows an adult owl flys dead center over is in canyon Nothing nesting there now   Further on up canyon at what i call the crux, about a 12 to 15 ft upclimb my hiking partner would not attempt I threw a knot block into the top as a hand line and continued on for a few minutes and came back however the pot hole below is so scoured it's pretty spicy to get into the crack and at 5'6 partner assist by boos...

Roads are still in good shape other than those sections of wind blown sand on the road but easy if you have some clearance Canyon was pretty much dry except for a couple small avoidable pools Some A-holes have already chopped the bolts out so now there's like 10 ugly bolt holes and NO anchor There's no decent rocks nearby to build a deadman but luckily we were able to use that pinch point up on the left wall Everything else was pretty standard in this classic Roost canyon If you're going to chop bolts at least...

5/18/2019 - Scramble up rockfall in front of Owl Rock Head to the back of canyon, turning right at the junction After scrambling up the bowl, R1 ~85 ft was moved from left-side to right-side and many rope grooves now exist there After R1 ~85 ft at canyon bottom, head up rock fall directly next to R1 to the left Head to top, and cross over crack where safe to get to R2 ~65 ft, or head to top and cross over when done visiting To get to top, find a weakness on Western-South side of the highest ledge R1 ~85 ft and R2 ...

Ran this canyon on 18th June 2021:"It's short nature makes it a good beginner canyon" - Yeah, right! It took us 95 hours with a couple of beginners, and 1 inexperienced guide me Everyone had an epic good time nevertheless :Some of the earlier pools in the guide above were not present We did rappel the 5m "downclimb" crack that is after the second rappel We did not even consider down climbing it, perhaps only because we saw an anchor I swear we found at least 1 additional rappel than mentioned in the guide, but this...

This is a pretty short canyon with really just one crux at the first rap I highly recommend leaving your backpacks at the top and doing this in one rap The topanchor was good to go It gets extremely tight when descending from the first rap It's nearly impossible to see in the dark so have a headlamp setup before you go You'll see the 2nd rap station in a horrible tight crack below but dont mess with that Simply throw the remaining rope over the obvious smaller chockstone and have someone test the pull Should be...

#conditions Dropped into Angel Slot on 4-12-25 with 4 experienced people and 3 new people Great canyon experience for everyone All webbing and anchors were in good condition Did the rappels for the first two rappels and then downclimbed everything else until the bonus river rappel fyi, the bonus rappel down to the river is totally worth doing Downclimbing the steep crack made it a funner canyon Weather was good, no water, mud, or rain
