Went with Allison and had a fun time. Boosted her up the crux and then she helped me. Rappel was fine with a 60m and a partner assist for the downclimb. |

Scramble up rockfall in front of Owl Rock. Head to the back of canyon, turning right at the junction. After scrambling up the bowl, R1 (~85 ft) was moved from left-side to right-side and many rope grooves now exist there. After R1 (~85 ft) at canyon bottom, head up rock fall directly next to R1 (to the left). Head to top, and cross over crack where safe to get to R2 (~65 ft), or head to top and cross over when done visiting. To get to top, find a weakness on Western-South side of the highest ledge. R1 (~85 ft) and R2 (~65 ft) are solid chains and well maintained. |

Fun, beautiful, not very long. Tricky down and upclimbing so go with someone who can really climb and spot. Enter Arches by 8 am and have breakfast at pullout. |

First canyoneering experience. We struggled deciphering the beta. I think we were using Mountain Project and not RTR. |

Short and sweet. A little exposed in one spot, sticky shoes and small length of cord for other members to help each other up was helpful |

Got an early start and we were the only two people on the route for a long time. Many more groups showed up in the afternoon. It was our first time in Elephant Butte and misinterpretation of the directions had us experiencing new tangents and techniques before finding the first rap! It ate up some time but found that others made the same misinterpretations of the directions and ended up where we were. It all worked out and we saw views from angles that I'm guessing many have not seen! It took 6 hours total. Now we know the route I bet we could do it in 2. Gorgeous views and some fun technical climbing. |

Owl rock was too wet to climb so we joined a couple after helping them find the start of the canyon. |

Fun route finding back when the beta was more sparse! Think I used a scan of a hand drawn map. |
