amazing.
Did you have to rap down into this corkscrew or you see it as you walk up the narrows?

Re: Simply

Thanks. You have to go down the canyon. You don't have to really rap down to see the corkscrew area but you have to leave by the two big raps. One is 40 ft and the next is 80 ft and free hanging. There is lots of downclimbing to get to this part with some of the nicest tighest slots I've seen. There was a small rap down of about 20 feet that then opens up to a wider spot of the canyon where you may find an exit (I think) after that into the corkscrew - the elevation drops quite a bit so it would be hard to back track. You can't see anything from the exit except the last cliff of 80 feet high and a nice grotto. You would probably love the trip. Just bring enough rope to get out. The down climbing is pretty easy.

Re: Simply

Thanks Katie. Now I want to see if I can print your directions.

Re: Simply

climb utah. com has the best directions. You have to be a paid member but it is well worth it. My directions are kind of sketchy. I envy you if are able to get a trip in!

Thank you Katie

for the "climbutah.com" beta. I doubt I can get a trip in anytime soon. But, I may try during Christmas season.
I envy you for all the mountains and places you have been to.
