Did Morocco win about an hour and 30 minutes at a decent pace but stopped a few times. Had one unavoidable pool that was about knee-deep. The rest I could get around with some creative footwork. Even though I am wet, I’m not that cold. I warmed up quickly and I have a thin Black Diamond thermals on. Was about 50 degrees. 100' rope is perfect. |

Solo, so fun I did it back to back. 100' worked great. Two raps are about 50', others are about 30'. Can biner block all, but if anchors get moved, maybe a pinch risk on chokestones. Can easily stem over pool, oven though it looks far. No need to ever put rope in backpack. |

Ran with Nick, Alicia, and Lauren Sunday early afternoon. HOT. Beat the heat with multiple mandatory pools, the first was a full swimmer for several strokes. In a later pool there was a dead mouse floating, much to the general horror. More nuisance rappels than I remember, lots of awkward starts off cairn anchors. Not as much stemming as Blarney. First anchor was a giant slung boulder on right side looking down instead of the usual cairn, dropped in right after the arch. |

Visited after a flash flood and this was a entertaining short canyon using a 30-meter rope. It included multiple area of wading and swimming. Can easily be soloed. If taking others, make sure they are comfortable on steep terrain with exposure for the approach. As with all areas in the North Wash bring extra webbing to replace or back up anchors. |

water began on 1st rappel and was waist deep, many wades and at least two full on swims while we were there. downclimb with hand line did not put me in reach of ground, short drop with spotter assist |

Solo 2:45 got rope stuck, be veryy deliberate with rope placement. Hike easy, cool arch in canyon. Fun couple raps, not best to guide as many anchors are natural/at your feet. Fun! |

I tried leading this one with Collin's help. Learned the butterfly knot. Learned to direct to the dlink if the rappel is below then set up my rap. Will have the extension weighted and it's easier to start on those exposed starts. 6 rappels, a little wet, great place to learn to lead a group! Helped Jeff a bit along with Collin. Wear sunscreen and Tevas. No snek sightings. |

Great evening canyon. Quick easy approach rewarded with a close series of raps. Canyon had water in late April when other canyons were bone dry. |

Tracy, Ed, Tom, Lizzy and myself. exposure was a little creepy but a great warm up for a long weekend. loved the arch. Had hoped to tack on hogwarts but opted to go make sure we got camping instead. |

With Taylor. Near Hogwarts. Short scenic hike in. Seems to have more downhill than uphill. Bring a shorter rope. One anchor is really just a hand line down climb |

Did with Jacob and Ben Great canyon. Rises quickly up slab on approach, but is surprisingly do able. Beautiful hike in. Easy exit. Great canyon. Not hard stemming. Few pockets of water. One Chest deep at most. Rappels a amazing, but complicated, beginners will struggle. Long sleeve and pants will help the less confident get through raps |
|

Plenty of water here, although mostly avoidable. You can hike (dc) left just before the stemming section before the rap that drops into the water (4th?) to avoid all the unavoidable wet sections. I believe we did this previously but we didn't bother today as we wanted our group to get the full experience. Altogether a fun and reasonably quick canyon, suitable for hardy beginners - not skill heavy but not a casual romp. |

Went in with three came out with three. This isa really fascinating and short canyon. The deepest water you had to get into was just over knee deep. Had not planned to do this one but after talking to Kyle about it at hog springs he convinced me to take my friends in there. The natural Bridge was a surprise and so enchanting. |

Fun trip but not particularly impressive canyon. At (what retrospectively we decided was) the 4th rap Tom convinced me to downclimb the chute against my better judgment . Ended up havinbb to get a rope rapidly deployed so i could have a somewhat controlled slide into chest deep water. Tom then downclimbed the route i should have taken, going high initially. Not sure what is normally used as the anchor we didn't look particularly hard but nothing obvious. |

Fun, short canyon. First rap can be skipped with a partner assist. |

Short and fairly easy. Your only real challenge would be avoiding a bit of water. |

A little more water than we bargained for! We were prepared for a little wading, but not chest deep. That made it a little chilly, but it was a great canyon. Took two beginners and we did fine. The approach was fun as well. Every rap had webbing on it already. |

Went with Matt Killian, a friend of his and Landon and Janelle. It was extremely hot and there were sections that felt like we were in an oven. Fun canyon though. |

GREAT short canyon off the side of the road where I camped. I really enjoyed the route finding to the entrance. Scrambling up the slab and traversing around the cliff band was a blast. The canyon itself was really pretty. Lots of dead man rappelling. The arch in the middle was nuts! Took me completely by surprise. Stayed mostly dry on the way down, weird rappel-stemming over pools. |
