We hiked up the West Rim trail past Angels Landing, past Behunin Pass, up on the West Rim and then north to drop into this upper Telephone Canyon. 
This canyon was mostly dry & kinna warm this time of year, has great down canyon views of Zion canyon in the distance, and featured a dozen or so interesting rappels. 
This is followed by a normal 70ft vertical half free hanging rappel into a half-grotto that made a great place for a lunch break before down climbing some slickrock. After a short walk, we hit the next section with a handful of short rappels in the 15-40ft range. Most of these had awkward starts from chockstones and dropped you further into the light narrows before ending with a larger 60ft drop. After that final rappel the canyon snakes a bit with some light obstacles and bushwhacking, but the canyon soon opens up into Little Siberia.
