So the book just has the north fork, but the middle fork is SO much more worthwhile and I hear the south isn't bad either. Finally getting used to the early morning climbs to the top of the canyon. :sweat: Soon after gearing up we hit the first drop of near 100ft. This canyon looks to get much more avalance & snow runoff action due to how worn & littered the canyons were. So this canyon would have a big drop and then be rocky & sloped for awhile until it hit another big drop & so forth... The BIG rappel of the middle fork was this flipping sweet 220-250ft waterfall. :y: The south fork drops in by creek but the canyon narrows up nicely where the north drops in via a waterfall. Of course loads and loads of wet down climbing with the best part of the canyon being the lower half with a few sweet narrows to play in. Some interesting V-thread anchors have been left by crazy ice climbers. :o Whenever possible & sane, rappel thru the falls for the full wet goodness. :D These Ouray canyons can be rather similar in there amazingness that they kinna blend together but the photos can do plenty of talking for me. :lol:
