If memory serves, we did the side crack I don't remember anything further down canyon

We did this as a loop up-climbing East Fork and coming down West Fork A very rewarding day Each fork on it's own is probably a bit lackluster, but together they are a 5-star day Climbing up the East Fork makes this an R rating, due to some exposure on two notable up-climbs There are 2 fairly easy up-climbs of note as well There is one where you chimney up about 10 feet and then have to get around a large chockstone When you get to the obvious big drop of about 100 feet with a large chockstone about 15 feet up and a...

Fantastic and quick canyon I'd recommend climbing around to the right once you get to the semi-keeper and sliding down the crack its a little bit exposed for 1 move right before you get into the slot

Hey, this is a canyon that can be easy to get turned around in due to the multiple false fins, scrambles, and slightly vague beta I've added some pics that might help The black streak is still there and off to the right - the first rappel is just over a small saddle following a bowl scramble and climb do not go left up a narrow crack - after summiting the left wash just before going back down the boulder scramble following the first rappel leads to the last rappel - after the last rappel use a team down climb or do...

There is a much more interesting option for the 3rd rappel When the canyon opens up, rather than heading down to the rock with very obvious rope grooves, head left along the slickrock as far as you can Right before the far left wall LDC there is a huge boulder and a smaller boulder behind it which was being used as a backup The rappel is about 80' of vertical wall with a decent sized ledge about half way, One 200' rope was plenty After that, just go back right LDC to either the crack rappel or the freehanging one w...

Beautiful canyon, but I wonder if we missed the correct exit crack What we went up was a loose class 2 dirt gully that ended in something like 30-50 feet of either very loose/sketchy/exposed class 4 or more secure, but mid-class 5 stem/mantle, followed by lower angle but still very loose, sandy, sketchy class 3 ledges Felt way sketchier than the Larry exit, by comparison Curious if we missed something

Can you provide more details I have done the rappels in "the exit" canyon a few times There is no way you could hand line up either of them so I am confused by your comment The "tall crack" you described sounds like that standard exit

Did Wife 1 today 11/18/22 with a beginner All of the anchor webbing was in acceptable shape I added an anchor on a solution arch in the Rap 2 area to make for an easier rope pull and to avoid excessive grooving on the rock Someone added an anchor about 30' past the last 66' rappel as an alternative to DCing to the bottom of the crack on the way out Not necessary for most, but nice to have for those less adept at DCing This was a fun canyon!

If you aren't comfortable with that crack down climb, there is another way into the canyon maybe a hundred feet or so bad at guessing distance to the east along the rim It has a lot of bushes to get through initially, but if you head straight down towards the large boulders you'll end up closer to the arch

Three of us went through the canyon on 8/25/2023 Someone has constructed a nice cairn anchor at the first rappel location the 10m drop For the last rappel 22m, you won't want to use a fiddlestick or a biner blocker and tag line, because any knot will likely get stuck in the obvious crack during the rope pull Just use a single rope that is long enough for 22m rappel
