| baumann_pat | got hooked in Zion Date Climbed: Sep 28, 2008 | |
| My partner and I descended the full canyon from Lava Point to Temple of Sinewava in 12h 30min. We would've broken 12 hours but I had to hike back up the Narrows section to retrieve a camera that was forgotten at the bottom of the ultimate rap. The water was low. But we still only hooked out of 2 keeper holes. We did various bag tosses and an improvised and tenuous zip-line escape. No partner assists were necessary. This was my 2nd 'technical' canyon. I was expecting a long and cold enduro day so we pushed it over easy terrain and downclimbed when possible to save time. I was a bit concerned that my shortee wetsuit would leave me cold but it worked well for me. FYI, this is a very committing environment and if your strategy backfires there could be very serious consequences. | |

| Day Hiker | Full Imlay from Potato Hollow Date Climbed: Sep 21, 2008 | |
| Very long 22-hour adventure from the West Rim trailhead to Sinawava, with Rick Kent and MikeSash. Our group was perfect, with two very good climbing partners and one big Day Hiker to provide forklift and elevator assistance where required. The water level is low, and all the lower section's potholes require a great deal of planning and effort to escape. Some of these keeper potholes were in succession, with no reprieve in-between. Since we entered the final section at dusk, we were forced to overcome most of the difficult pothole problems with only the light of headlamps. This final section of about one-third mile took about five hours. I am glad to have done Imlay in these difficult conditions. If we had full potholes that required no difficult exit strategies, I would feel short-changed. I don't know how Imlay is in "easy" conditions, but with low water levels, it definitely stands out above other canyons in terms of difficulty and duration. | |

| Took two days to do the full canyon. Planned bivy in the canyon. Day two was especially nice in the lower section. | |

| Scott | One of the first canyons I did | |
| One of the first canyons I did (September 1992). From Potatoe Hollow. Difficulty depends on conditions. Sometimes a rap and swim canyon and sometimes quite challenging (when empty). Would be a very hard to do "clean" without using any of the bolts or hook holes in low water conditions. | |
