#conditions South Fork, 5/26/24 Large party, 6 adults, 2 seven year olds The descent to the anchors for the 2 south raps was fine, we just took it slowly Solid anchors for both of the raps, webbing in place was in good shape The narrow section of the slot was very fun, especially with the kids, who loved it A few spots with water that were easy to stem over, great conditions on the hole Final rap is off of two bushes growing out of a crack, not the most bomber, but between the two it felt stable Highly recom...

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...

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...

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...

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

Fooling around is a great, and varied canyon It has many potential exits, making it a good choice for beginners The short route is recommended, as it sees the best parts of the canyon, yet provides a much shorter exit The longer route is worthwhile, but adds more much more exit hiking than good stuff
