Kelsey”s book

AND it is important to read the page on your canyon, the whole page. Make sure Mr. Kelsey has actually done the route. If he has not, I suggest tearing that page out and using it for your morning constitutional. One cannot look into a canyon and know how tight, small, or hard it is. (uh, uh, don’t go there).

One that he has NOT done he lists as among his best routes! Figure that one out. It is tight, very tight, but should go for most people lighter than say, 150 lbs, HWP. That’s the Middle Fork of Butler’s West Fork Complex. And the rappel is 100 feet, into a pool.

So, if you want to know if a specific canyon might be nasty > ask…………if I know, I’ll tell you if it might be a death trap.
