We drove to the North Wash and canyoneered Merry Piglet 3A/B – a surprisingly fun small canyon. There were several downclimbs and rappels up to 50 feet. It was a fun start to the North Wash November weekend. 🤩 The anchors were in good condition, and we had no issues descending the canyon. There was a small pool of easily avoidable water. However, it rained a lot this past Sunday, and there’s likely more water in the canyon now. Two or three of the rappels were in tight elevators that could also have been potentially downclimbed. With a group of four, Merry Piglet took one hour and 45 minutes from car to car. If you have extra time after your main outing, this is a fun canyon to explore later in the day. |

Wayne, Jacob, Kyra and Desert Jesus. Late start waiting for Wayne to contact Bob and made a friend that guided us through the canyon and brought him to his buried ammo box of supplies. |

Solo 1:45 took long side trip plus got rope stuck. Watch rope pulls, easy but be mindful. Bunch of shorter pretty drops. Most anchor tight off caulk stones below. Not good to guide. All raps could be done with 75 if down climb last ~10ft |

Fun little canyon! Did with large group of Tammy, Tom, Tim, Julie, Austin, Rebecca and Ann. Was able to do mostly dry, but wet feet. Easy rappels, but with awkward starts. |
