Tom Talboys, Marc Olivares, his friend Steve ? and myself did a new canyon this weekend. We were not the first to do this little off the radar gem, but to the best of my knowledge the pictures below are the first pictures of the canyon to be published in public.

Anyone want to play guess the canyon?

Looks Swell-esque to me. Perhaps the backside or extreme west end - around what Scott calls "Gem Canyon?"

Looks pretty cool!

Nice pics. Looks like a fun canyon. I love how the ropes seem to glow in the picture.

The canyon does not drain into Orderville. But you are getting warm.

Yes I'm going to write up a route description soon as I get some free time. Just thought I might have a little fun with ya'll first.

Orange/red ropes rule for photography, yellow are also pretty good. :2thumbs:

Here are a couple more pics to help you out. :mrgreen:

Drains into Parunuweap?

(de lurk...) The petroglyphs say not Parunuweap to me. Moquith Mountain area? (re lurk...)
