Spencer Canyon - Old Sheffield Road
Date: 05/28/2020
We found 2 alternative rappel entrances into this canyon; 1 is a deadman that rappels into a small but short narrows (scenic but not worth it). The other is the 'traditional' rap 1 that can be bypassed. There are multiple downclimbing and rappel options in this canyon from the entrance to what is described here as R2. R3/R4 in this description are the only pair you 100% have to rappel. In my opinion, the short version of this canyon would be kind of 'meh' even for beginners. Someone newer in our group said if they'd done the easier route they probably wouldn't have liked the canyon much.

Fire Canyon - Capitol Reef

Some of these downclimbs had webbing on them because they can be slick and look more difficult than they really might be from the top. When in 3B mode (as it was when we did it), expect more raps or at least be smart and send someone down to check it out first.

Buckskin Gulch - Paria

We did this as a backpack from wire pass to Lee's Ferry. A friend helped us set the shuttle so we didn't have to do the long round trip back from the end to the start. The Paria narrows are a very worthwhile extension to Buckskin.
