Trip Stats | Sandthrax Canyon - North Wash

6 year long dream come true! I did it today!

We also built anchor for first rappel me and cannon it was bomber

Og crew Holy long stemming. John almost died he slipped and hit his head really hard going over last silo almost to end. Me and cannon booked down got rope food water and helped get him down and ascend out. Had to wait a bit for him to feel ready to go downs The rest was chill the climb was pretty dang hard but once one person gets up they can make anchor for others to hand line/ ascender up but still hard. The silos weren’t bad one was pretty wide with slopey potential to fall was scary , descent places to kinda rest if needed the rest of the time. Called search and rescue but cancelled once we got John out. I think total 6 hrs or so. Some places hard to decide to go high or low so be smart

Super cool but sooo much stemming.

Did in a party of two. 3.5 hours car-car. All silos are easy and straightforward to cross. The crux is a little awkward, but very manageable, especially with a #6 cam.

6hrs, one hard to avoid pool. one #6 and one #4 big bro

First technical canyon I ever did! Was roped into it because I was a offwidth and chimney counter with aid climbing expert and had the large gear for it.

First X rated canyon I’ve done.
