Canyons are inherently risky. Flash floods occur without notice on sunny days. Technical skills & surrounding topography knowledge required yet does not eliminate risk.
 Overview An adventurous crack fault canyon with 8-10 rappels up to 180ft that's great to do when you're in the area and want to stay mostly dry or avoid the monsoons by doing a canyon without much flash flood potential. From the car park, head north down into the canyon. When you're thru the technical section, you can either head down Sterling Canyon to another vehicle left along 89A or head up Sterling Canyon to loop back along 535A to your vehicle.
