Excellent Canyon.
Sweet outing! All three narrows were pretty long. Even Xander could take a deep breath and feel the rock on both sides of him.
With Jeff
Completed the first rappel, downclimbed 2nd rappel (40 ft), avoided the "Grim Crawl" and rappelled, instead. Phenomenal canyon, little to no water except at the end rappel.
Long, narrow sections. There was a rapel on the grim climb. with canden- 5hr 44min.
Amazing, specular and always interesting. Shoulders very sore. Unavoidable water at end as the traverse is under ankle deep water.
Walk out and hike out so so but not too bad. Canyon excellent. 5 stars. 1.25-1.5 hr end of last rap/pool of water to car stash
Got it all done this time!
Spotty and fun
not done yet. see: https://dyeclan.com/outdooractivities/canyoneering/?page=shenanigans-canyon C3 exit, tight like midLep, meat anchor then I do The Grim Crawl
Did the first 2 sections and the escape was easy. Go back with skinny folks for the last section. The grim crawl is exactly that but bring the sand trap and itl be easy.
guided Brad and Kirstie on first trip - super fun, physically demanding canyon! Meat anchored for 3 raps above grim crawl. I crawled - no problem downclimbing. All other anchor webbing in good shape. Last rap into shoulder-deep water, only the first down had to take the plunge, everyone else hugged the right wall (downcanyon) to stay dry above the knees. super fun, memorable canyon.
Solo Car to car 5hr 19min Dry until last rap into chest deep pool
Mark, Greg, Justin, Patrick, Kyle.
Extremely fun and beautiful but definitely a lot of work 6 hours car car with a shuttle
Group of 4 with newer skills took 8 hours. 1st rappel definitely downclimbable. In place of Grimm crawl there is a deadman available. Last set of narrows isnât to sustained but probably to tight for anyone over 160.
Fun canyon with Jake, Sue & Carrie
Tight prolonged narrows.
Ben and Jacob. Quick entry, overhung first rappel with low anchor, 7 stemming, great narrows, grim crawl, class 5 exit.
Is this the Grim crawl? Take only people who are good. It's amazing but could be more narrow. Forget hydro phobia
Descended with Chris Brandenburg
Prettier and easier than I was expecting! I'm 5'3" 130lbs and had no problem getting thru the tight sections. No water in the first section for us, but I slipped in the last pool and was nice and soggy on the hike out.
Didn't like how tight the slot was, and got stuck a few times as a 180 lb male. Raps were fun, but many awkward, however used many natural anchors.
Tight!! Second narrows was quite dark. One of my favs!
1st technical canyon
Is this the Grim Crawl? Canyon is approximately 10 times longer than you think it is. Most sustained and narrow stemming I've yet done. About as narrow as Chambers at it's most narrow, had to exhale to pass. Long slog climb to exit. Grim Crawl room was beautiful, as was the view from the final two rappels, enormous shear walls, narrow, opening up into a green expanse.
