Did this canyon again on 1-4-25 with a group of 5 Dirt road to get there is in great condition The canyon was completely dry, but had a tiny bit of snow falling for a few minutes during the second rappel 1st rappel is always an interesting start with that overhang, don't forget to use a carabiner to shorten the webbing for all but the last person Had a ton of fun downclimbing the rest of the canyon after doing the first 2 rappels The lighting was really awesome at the end of the deeper dark crack area The webbing o...

Fry canyon has a reputation for being a cesspool much of the time, with some of the most putrid water around I'd like to be the first person to say this is not true, but alas, it can be true! During prolonged periods without rain, Fry can be very unpleasant to the nose Don't let that deter you though! The sections with water are short, and the canyon is sublime, with easy access, Native American ruins, and fantastic slot sections The short nature makes this a casual outing if passing through the area, and it does n...

#conditions Did Hog 2 on Sept 13 The road to the upper trailhead is currently in 4X4 mode due to blow sand in 2 spots We opted for the spicy downclimb on left LDC and glad we did It is much better than the rap Although, the last 10' or so of the traverse getting into the crack is pretty sketchy We protected the first ones across with a meat anchor from above and then partner assisted the last person Worked great The remaining anchors were all in good condition One additional item of note, the plunge pool in Ho...

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...

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

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 ...

Completed canyon on 11/03/16 with group of 5 270' rappel is kinda awkward as you're stuck in a crack for a good portion of it I feel like the 1st rap on Cassidy Canyon is way more intimidating Fun canyon but the good stuff is short Probably won't do this one again Rebuilt the anchor on the last rappel One of our group forgot to pull the knot out of the end of our rope before pulling it It was getting dark and it was an old rope so i didn't feel like ascending the rope and trusting the knot against the rapide...

Thanks, Ryan, great spot For those who don't like the crack, a short but easy approach: At about mile 30, keep on straight down to the draw instead of up left to the cliff trailhead Pull over at the draw or when the road gets too rough, then hike left / east down the draw to the panels -- also only a 5-10 minute hike

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

This was an awesome day in every kind of way Great 56 scramble ascent, squeeze, chimney, slab and crimpy climbs, challenging route finding and a couple fun rappels had to climb back up one as my rope got stuck in a crack when I was pulling it Awesome and challenging day Make sure you are a comfortable scrambler/climber or this will be a scary day as there is a fair amount of exposure
