Huge blackened logs added obstacles. somewhere between 6-10 raps and a few swims, several downclimbs and a couple slides. Longest rap was about 180ft which we stopped at an intermediate anchor to rethread so to make rope pull easier (and successful). The midway anchor is an old rope on a pinch point and has a small core shot- should be replaced or backed up soon! Another anchor is off a burnt log which looks like it could shift down canyon, it was stable today but future canyoneers should use it with caution. Around one corner we found a large iceberg! The swims are short though and a farmer john wetty was sufficient on this sunny day. Toward the end of the technical section is a 40ft rap into an avoidable pothole, a couple hundred feet downstream the canyon widens. we didn't find the cairns described on ropewiki but headed up the right slope to the left of a 25ft dry fall. following this drainage for 20min then at an actual cairn we took the right of three gullies toward a small saddle. This gully was very loose with lots of ash. Once at the saddle head up and left of the cliff, more loose and bushy climbing. The good news is it only took an hour to reach the car! We made good time throughout as all 3 members (Scott B & Patrick M) were experienced and agile. |
