Description
The heart of the canyon contains a great series of drops, slides, and holes. We will not attempt to detail them here . . . you really need to hike/scout the whole sequence before putting on, to be aware of what you are getting into. Suffice it to say the action can be intense, and is made all the more so by being in a vertical-walled canyon. While it is possible to set safety at various points, it is not always easy to be where you need or would like to be.
