Northwest Fork of Big Spring Canyon - High Spur
Date: 04/29/2022
No keepers. The first big rap was into a deep pothole that could be climbed out of. Was dry except only the last pool where it opens up to the exit had knee deep water.

Completely dry. Did peekaboo and spooky loop. Took dry fork up and to the big ledge and circled back to main trail. Nice weather didn't freeze at night.

Birch Hollow - Zion East Side

Easy and fun canyon. Passed a few groups. The wild bushwhack exit is well established and easy to follow. The last rappel had water that was easy to go around.

Fiddlestick Canyon - Bullfrog
Date: 11/13/2021
Dry except for last rappel. Which was avoidable. The crumbly portion of the rappels was terrible the cliff face at the 60' rappel had crumbled into the rappel area burying the anchor and was very unstable. We cleaned it up and cleaned the rappel.

Death Canyon - North Wash

A great, easy and quick solo experience. At the up canyon entry I walked further up canyon (maybe 5minutes) to explore and ran into some quicksand.

Shillelagh Canyon - North Wash
Date: 04/21/2019
Soloed both forks. The 99' rappel is a two stage single rappel or two separate rappels. Went to Blarney four days before and saw a cow on the cliff high above the other side of the highway and saw it in the same place when I came back to do Shillelagh.

Angel Cove Slot - Angel Point

This canyon was so fun. I realized part way through that the dome/spire at the end of the canyon is very tall and this canyon keeps dropping and dropping. At the confluence of the two canyons there were loads of black flies for about 30m, then, once the sand was gone, no more flies.

This is an amazing short canyon. The dark deep slot is very exciting... Especially solo!

Took a gaggle of girls on this hike. We had so much fun! Never enough laughter to fill a canyon, but we undoubtedly did as we contorted ourselves in such a fun and enchanting place.

Morocco Canyon - North Wash
Date: 04/15/2019
Went in with three came out with three. This isa really fascinating and short canyon. The deepest water you had to get into was just over knee deep. Had not planned to do this one but after talking to Kyle about it at hog springs he convinced me to take my friends in there. The natural Bridge was a surprise and so enchanting.
