Warm day. We wore hiking pants and short sleeve shirts and were very comfortable. Pretty dry in the canyon: First rap had water to just the shins for the first person. Second person easily redirected to land on the dry ground. Then an avoidable puddle and finally a long skinny area that I just walked through because I was hot anyway, but then it got chest deep LOL. Second person walked on the right where there is a ledge under the water and bridged his body to the wall, and therefore only got water to knees. Pot holes were done with partner assist and a ladder only. We never threw a pot shot or bag, although we had them with us. Tallest was about 12-14 feet, I'd say. No water in any of the pot holes. Very fun canyon! |

Got a late start (11:30am) but made good time up the Moroni Slopes. Canyon was mostly dry, particularly all the keepers. Escaped most keepers via partner assist and creative climbing. Used a potshot to escape the second set of keepers. Last rappel section was odd, weird rope pull. Beautiful canyon and would love to do it again with more water. Time: 6.5 hours Team: Dylan, Dave, Jamin, Blake, Jonnah, Kyle. |

Nice, but would have been way better with water! It was dry, due to the dry year. Had to use hook to get down one section. Party behind us used it and returned it to us. Dead ringtail cat in one pothole. |

Went with a group of 5. Took us just over 7 hours. We were ready with our wetsuits, but were disappointed to find the canyon dry. If there had been water it would have been a lot of fun. Without water it wasn't very exciting. We had no problems getting out of the potholes with partner assists. No special gear was needed to escape the potholes. |
