This is by far my favorite hike I have done in the Page area. It is also one of my favorite short day-hikes ever. Thanks so much to @paleorob for the beta on this route. The adrenaline rush of going down each drop as you descend to the river is thrilling. I highly recommend this route, but caution you to assess the quality of the cables before descending/ascending. Some of them are starting to rust out. I also would not recommend doing this route after it rains. It had rained the day before we arrived, and most of the sandstone was dry. But it was still difficult to get good traction with vibram soles. It was still doable, but felt a little sketchy without the normal dry sandstone. The plus side of doing this hike in the winter: hardly anyone was around :D
