It was obviously much easier to drop in from the upper TH than making the long sun exposed hike up from the bottom and it was nice to sleep in a bit also instead of the usual crack of dawn start. 
We hit the upper narrows soon enough that still had pools and some light flow in places and eventually the big 160ft rappel. The canyon is full of slippery rock while making the many down climbs and loads of rock hopping. 
I brought my short rope for the short drops and used it soon afterwards. Eventually you hit the next cool falls where we just down climbed around the first drop and rappel the remaining 40ft replacing my sun bleached anchor from last year and removing some old trashy webbing. A little further down we reached the sweet 120ft angled mossy falls; def my fav rappel of the canyon.
