Located in the western part of the Sierra Ancha Wilderness, this rugged rock canyon offers excellent scenery and lots of physical and technical canyoneering challenge. Taking the route down the canyon requires lots of downclimbing, sections of wading and swimming, and multiple rappels. For the rappels you will need a harness, helmet, 2x100' ropes, 40' webbing, 5 rap rings, carabiners, and a descender. The water in the canyon can be very chilly, especially during cold temperatures, so also come prepared with a dry bag and wetsuit. The rock in the canyon is very slick so be extra cautious. The trip can also be done as a shorter loop trip by using an alternative exit known as Cadillac Exit.
