Took a group of Varsity/Venture scouts on this canyoneering route. Did seven rappels. All were bolted with anchors and rings in place. Water throughout, and it rained on us, making the granite rock very slick. Had a fun time, but the trip planner misread the map, making the canyon exit interesting. There were actually 9 rappels before the exit. Our early exit made for some rather exposed climbing and a few tricky spots. Thankfully, all made it out safely and the trip leader learned a few lessons in planning. (I also committed not to rely on others for planning. A half an hour on Google Earth and a closer read of the canyon details would have made a big difference). That said, the boys all learned a lot about themselves and what they can accomplish with some hard work and determination. Overall, a great experience.
