Saturday, May 18 – The approach hike was straightforward and took about 30 minutes. Chambers gets narrow and spicy fast, with high stemming and then a narrow 50-foot elevator down into a chamber. This pattern continues throughout most of the canyon: narrow sections, then open chambers, then narrow again. Chambers is a beautiful slot canyon with dark, narrow passages and stunning chambers. I especially loved the incredible subway section. There were some particularly tight sections that we had to climb up and over, which made the descent more challenging. The canyon was mostly dry, with some easily avoidable water deeper down in a few areas. We descended the technical section in about four hours and the exit hike took about 45 minutes. |

With dad. Super fun canyon, almost got stuck. Very narrow and stemming high was better. Would be a good TH campsite. 2hr 50min |

Good fun with everyone in tow to celebrate getting married in June. Very cool, very tight, I think I stemmed around the most tight portions so I did not get full value. That being said, still had to breath through a few sections. Sean did it in shorts and destroyed his knees and it was Trinas very first canyon and did it no problem. David will get it next time for sure. Excited for more in the future. Glad Michael, sean, and phil stayed. |

Happy bachelor party to Erik! 3rd time through the canyon, despite the lack of ticks. Big crew camping at the goblin campsite for Erik. Myself, Erik, Christian, Sean, Lipsey, Trina, and Eric Humphrey descended. Much less narrow than it felt last time with Colby! Great romp and everyone made it out fine. |

Tight, very tight...the real crux though is a 20-30foot offwidth chimney upclimb to then highstem 20ish feet and then downclimb to get past the tightest part. Keep an eye out for the arrows pointing up |

Great canyon, very slender, beta on not being bare chested is spot on. DO NOT bring a bag, walk out is chill. Mostly able to avoid water as well. |

4.7 mi, 5 hr 40 min - Justin Very tight, involves higher but secure stemming. Crux is an offwidth up-climb but a secure ledge to stem once reached. There is a also a dryfall that looks sketchy but is downclimbable with body tension. |

(DAN and I) Went light as possible (water, food, helmet, gloves and knee pads). Start is very tight. Required removal of helmet in one part to get head through. Awesome canyon... cambers sections are a great break from the tight slots. Canyon was completely dry. Exposed climbing and stemming that would not be good for people who get wigged out easily. Strenuous off width up climbing maybe be impossible for some. Required some buddy assists to reduce risk in some exposed sections. But again, awesome canyon... I would do it again... Dan said he would not. |

Love this canyon. It's tight and requires some grunt work, but the chamber section is stunning and the exit is pretty awesome. |

Wow. Spectacular Canyon. Definitely take the authors advice and take this canyon seriously. The approach in and out takes moderate route finding skills but the real work starts in the canyon. Be prepared for a hour or two of chimney climbing/traversing. I shredded my pants... but it was totally worth it! Note: A 20ft piece of cordelette was useful as a hand line during the section just after the chamber/boulder pile. |
