Super fun, ran in about three hours with mom

First solo canyon, was so sweet, down climbs are all very manageable, 1:45 rim to rim, wish it was longer!

Just did a run of the canyon (1-17-2026) with a group of 9 people. Webbing still looked good at the top of the rappel. We ended up using a 200 ft rope and rappelled all 3 stages with the one rope and left it. We came back around and picked up the rope on the way back. There was a larger loose rock at the start of the second stage that looked like it was ready to fall below, so we picked it up and moved it back away from the edge. Canyon still had a little water in a few places (avoidable by stemming over). Fun canyon, and the arch on the hike out is a great place to take a group photo.

First half of double day with Constrychnine. Wasn't overly impressed - left fixed line for the beginning three stage rappel, after there was some small downclimbing and a lot of mud. Took overland shortcut that more the halved the exit. 2ish hours. Max, Montgomery and me.

05/13/2025

With Kai, second favorite of the 3. Cool section at the end. probably total time about 3 hours. Exit felt long

DK, Brer, Amy, Eli No webbing left. Used DK rope and so did group after us. Rappel is sooo good, the rest of the canyon is enjoyable as well for variety

Happy Birthday Kelly Man! Incredible canyon. Highlight was the corkscrew slide :)

11/04/2023

Liam Phil and jack. Good time . Quick and simple. My knee hurts. Meat at the car and 1 cold beer is essential. Pearl and Lil Jack need to hook up.

11/04/2023

Really fun mellow canyon. Did the rapp in 3 stages and left the rope fixed at the anchor to travel light. Plenty of mellow little downclimbs and stems. Did this with Erik, Jack, and Liam while staying in the Whispering Sands hotel in Hanksville to avoid the cold. Did an extra credit early exit at the bottom up some slab to shortcut some wash tromping. The boys did good! Even Erik with his ailing IT band.

11/04/2023

Same trip but wanted to say that the road in is mellow and there's good camping at the trailhead.

Fun, 3 stage initial rappel, however the rest of the canyon is pretty unmemorable. Hike in is quick, as is hike out. The arch is neat.

All dry. First rappel is done with 3 stages on 60m rope, Possible with shorter rope and anchors at each stage. If single rope, leave at top and get later due to long pull. No more mandatory rappels below. Good times!
