DK quick on the way home
w/ Lex- Good canyon would do again. Pretty narrow but very pretty. Last part reminded me of leprechaun. A couple weird down climbs but nothing felt too sketch. 2hr 40min
Good canyon. Would do again. Pretty narrow but very pretty. Some weird down climbs but nothing felt too sketchy.
With Swede. Dirt biked to trailhead.

2 people. No rope/harness. Second descent. Just as much fun as last. We brought 30 feet of webbing and tied off a tree to use as a hand line to get first person down the first big obstacle. Partner-assisted the second. The rest of the canyon was a lot of stemming and chimneying.
Very fun. 3.5hrs with a group of 8. lots of options for high stemming but also typically lower options.
No ropes needed. Lots of tight slot. Fun

Very physical canyon. Bring a small backpack, no rope. Easy fun and narrow with excellent camping beyond the turnoffs in either direction. Closer to Butler TH is a very sand area of the road. Suggest bringing a bike and pairing this with Upper Staircase and Butler for a great weekend outing. Again, road can be rough beyond the TH heading towards Upper Staircase.
This canyon requires extensive stemming for long periods of time and it was really high up with a big drop. We got pretty nervous in the fourth section and turned around and went back up canyon. Might return when we're stronger and more experienced.
With Connor and Mike
Very challenging (physically). Lots of downclimbing and stemming that would be difficult for beginners. Narrow in spots. Great second canyon of the day though we were tired on completion. Ran it with Bram and Cam. 2.5 hours car to car
Fun, short, stemmy canyon. Pretty narrow with no rope work
I'd give it 3.5 stars. Went with Kaden. Not for claustaphobes or folks not comfortable stemming for long periods of time. It was a lot of work, but a challenging canyon. 3-star for the beauty, 4-star for the physical challenge.
With Ryan and Jared. Not a beginners canyon. Lots of spanning high up
a few ankle-deep watery spots - all can be avoided with stemming.
Nice warm up to Upper Stair.
Took rookies... they aren't so keen on "narrow". way fun will visit here again.
4hrs. C2C, took Pico, tight but not clostrphbc, only used rope to lower Pico, no harness needed, road is good, exhausting.
