Started down the Ash Creek trail near the cabins after being dropped off by our friend. Not exactly the official start but it still works. 
Forrest hiked down the lush upper canyon for a few miles til we reached the slickrock. True to name, it is EXTREMELY slippery! 
We crabbed walked down most of it but near the end one of us slipped out of control a good 40-50ft to the bottom and thankfully walked away with only bruises. 
I've done some slippery canyons, but this one takes the cake as one of the most slippery ones I've done... We did a thick bushwhack to get to the sweet Ash Creek Falls and thankfully it wasn't flowing too crazy but enough to make for an adventurous day. 
We did the nicely flowing 170ft waterfall rappel and proceeded down canyon to bypass some more slick cascades. Before we knew it, we were atop a super sweet crack in the granite rock layer thru which the creek flowed. It ended up being a 3-stage rappel sequence of heights between 50-90ft right thru the flowing creek and down the crack.
