 WARNING:

There is insufficient beta for this canyon. Help us improve the Betabase... if you have details to contribute, please submit them to info@canyoncollective.com and you will be credited.


As with all beta, use the information on this page with caution. Obstacles may change or may be dependent on conditions, as well as group skills and comfort levels. Rap counts may increase if downclimbs get rigged as rappels, anchors may get altered or re-rigged, and conditions will vary. Always be prepared for the unexpected (mental, or physical challenges, or gear needs that you did not anticipate), consider your options, and look for the safest alternative for your group to descend the canyon.

    The water never got deeper than mid-thigh on me (I'm 5'5"). The pothole is about 5.5 feet deep and half full. It can easily be escaped with a beached whale.

    The water is avoidable in all but one spot if you are tall and willing stem 20ft over a couple pools. The pothole is almost dry and is about 7ft deep, requiring a partner assist to exit and rappel off the other side. Exit trail is well defined.
