Quiet today, so I wanted to post some photos from a technical canyon that we did recently. It is in a remote part of the park, and there is rappelling, some down climbing and boulder hopping and some steep climbing to get back out. There are three rappels of 80, 60 and 90 feet. We had to do some rigging on the last rappel to make sure that the anchor was safe. The hike out is also very impressive and we stopped at a big arch on the way back to the trailhead. One of the more difficult routes, but a lot of fun, and I was glad there were just three of us on this new to us route.
