Perfect night canyon or winter canyon. Short approach and bring extra webbing to back up rappels. Great for guiding. |

Night Canyon with Venture Off on CCU Canyoneering class trip. Had a fire and did worship at the top! Great stars! Met a guy named nick who tagged along. Wore Altras and used a Piranna. |

Left/west fork with Lottes, Judy, Martin and myself. Great shorter canyon- more open with some shallow slots to enjoy. raps early with a few downclimbs/partner assists to keep it enjoyable. |

Left fork. Back-to-back rappels of 27 and 66 feet, respectively. Not as scenic as the right fork. Fun short canyon. |

Did this with Kylie, Kate, Rob. 2 hrs car to car, unplanned afternoon after Stegosaur went faster than expected (camped at the Blarney TH). What a surprise! We loved it. Started slow and then got excellent starting at the second rappel. Extended start at the first but good courtesy rigging. Second one is getting lots of rope grooves so we did releasable rigging (CEM), it worked great! Lots of fun playing in the narrows & downclimbs, went on longer than expected. |

Right Fork. Went with Juan, Alf, Jeff, and Collin. Great time going through this canyon. Juan had to ascend because he forgot his backpack on the large rap. Good intro stemming. Nothing hard, overall enjoyable canyon and fun raps! |

Great canyon, beautiful views - the 99' rappel was pretty awkward to start, but other than that it was great |

One of my least favorite Canyons I've done in North wash but a quick Canyon to knock off a list we did it after shenanigans |

West Shelieghlegh - started at 1pm. Finished at 4 pm. Mark Hartner, Jordan and Alysen Guadagnin came along. Long walk across the plateau to get to the wash that enters into this canyon. Found a sunning rattlesnake at the bottom slot area (about 3 feet wide with lots of sand underneath), but passed it while it was torpid. |

Down left fork and then back up right to the bottom of the last rappel Free rappel to the left has an abrupt transition. The out and back to the bottom of the last rappel of the right fork was great fun. |

Soloed both forks. The 99' rappel is a two stage single rappel or two separate rappels. Went to Blarney four days before and saw a cow on the cliff high above the other side of the highway and saw it in the same place when I came back to do Shillelagh. |

Day One: Right fork. Reasonable approach, straight up the slick rock. The canyon was muddy and had a lot of knee-deep pools of water. It was very narrow and v-shaped with a lot of stemming and down climbing. Not dog friendly. Day Two: Left fork. Same approach, only we had to walk an extra 15 minutes or so west. This canyon was much drier and open, proving to be more enjoyable for everyone. The rappels had awkward starts, but were manageable once you got going. With how easy the canyon is following the rappels, I would do this fork of the canyon again. Temperatures were fine -- a long-sleeved shirt was sufficient for most of the day. |
