Introduction to Canyoneering
Difficult A
Introduction to Canyoneering: Fry Canyon, Utah. Fry Canyon is an excellent entry level slot canyon in the Cedar Mesa region, 3.5 hour drive from Durango. There is easy road access and a good camping near the entry point. Saturday we will be traveling through the narrows and coming out into larger White Canyon, which offers interesting exploring. To return we will climb out of White Canyon and hike across the mesa back to the cars. Sunday, there will be several options. Participants can choose to further explore White Canyon, with a rock climb or rope ascend into an Anasazi cliff dwelling. Or we can go for a hike in Owl Canyon on the way back to Durango. Note: we will be wading through cold water in a deep, narrow, confined slot, this may not be for you! Co-Leaders: Laura Scull & Tom Zajicek Dates: Leave Friday after work, October 1st.; return Sunday, October 3rd. Maximum group size: 8 (6 sign-ups plus 2 leaders) Qualifications: Technical climbing skills: experience rappelling over an overhanging lip; experience ascending a rope with pussiks or ascenders. Climbing Equipment Required: harness, belay/rapel device w/ locking 'biner, pussik loops or ascenders, slings or cord foot loops, free carabiners, helmet. Other gear: medium sized day pack, dry bag or good plastic bag to keep extra clothes, lunch, camera, dry inside your day pack. Hiking boots or trail shoes are fine.
