| no partners | | | Great trip with the Arizona Outing Club from ASU. It started out with a 2 mile hike down to the canyon along an old Jeep trail. Entering the canyon was easy. We departed the trail and navigated between large rocks right to the creek bank. Imediately following we had to wade waist deep through frigid water. The trip in late October requires a wetsuit. I wore a .5mm diveskin and it did ok until the last 20 minutes or so. Once we entered the water we were not out for longer than a minute or two for the next 2 hours. There were a number of natural water slides and a few small jumps into pools. Be sure to examine the depth of the pool before jumping. I received two puncture wounds in my shin from failing to check the depth. Towards the end of the trip there was a 30' rappel. There were a few bolts on the right side of the canyon. Those closest to the ledge looked like they were best positioned. There was a 20 foot piece of webbing attached to the anchors further from the edge. It was a narrow fit through the crevice but we were able lower ourselves along the webbing. The pool on the other side is fairly deep, deeper than 8 feet on this date. Great trip. Very beautiful. |
