Have a couple of hours to kill in North Wash? Done all the classics? Looking for a casual evening route? Want something new? Death is for you! A short approach, leads to a short entrada slot canyon, with a 10 m ( 33 ft. ) rappel. Although not a destination, it is a fun little canyon.

The short approach and ease make this one that I have done a number of times as an "on-the-way-home" type adventure. It is also one of my "intro-to-canyoneering" type outings, and I know several of my friends have done the same.
