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...

Brimstone: Just came back from doing several slots in Escalante and haven't had problems with snakes in the past, but when we done Brimstone, we ran into 4 rattlesnakes Two of them trapped in a small pothole, one wandering in the slot, and the fourth was in a sidewall pocket above a long water pool, and we were only in a quarter mile from the entrance I'd suggest taking a headlamp because there is a dark section which requires spanning the wall to pass, unless you're less than 6 or 7 inches thick at chest height I...

#conditions 4/14/2024 - I've done Chambers a couple of times, but I think it has become WAY WAY harder in the last couple years Seems like the floor dropped three feet in the first section, changing the nature of the canyon considerable In the first section, the result is a lot more hard upclimbs to get over very narrow sections, with the crack getting only slowly wider as you go up And then a raucous battle to get past the narrow section before sliding down to the sand in the next chamber, only to do so again And ...

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...

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

Finally found this site. The climb up was not fun at all for me but that is the way it is. Lots of real nice art as well as pictures of a lot of baskets. Right off Cane Bed Road regular car can make it.Petroglyphs: N36° 58.142' W112° 52.173'Still looking for Ravens Crack in same area let me know if you have location.

Did this canyon on 4/6/13 Used the short-cut access to the south prong of the canyon Found shallow water in 3 places & was able to avoid by stemming At one, we tossed in a rock to provide footing for one step across Pothole before the last rap was dry so meat-anchored in & clambered out Final rap station was rigged on right side LDC with a bolt and 11 mm rope with a link on the end hanging over the edge Also a loop installed on same rope further back from the edge On left side of canyon was a long piece of blue web...

Getting under the arch was pretty easy and did not feel exposed From the top of the arch we walked the rim to the right looking away from the arch about 5 min to the top of a boulder pile The first move down used an easy and wide 7 foot crack with good holds to access the boulder pile From there it was an easy walk on slick rock to the arch

Short story: I just want to give everyone a heads up that the most obvious spot for a hand line in the exit canyon is just the first of two rappels If you use that hand line, you will also need a second hand line on the lower rappel before you go to the start Longer story: Went through this for the first time last weekend We went to the exit and saw that someone had already placed webbing at a drop in the exit canyon Figuring that was the needed hand line, we got back in the car and went through from the start We m...

#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...
