Medival Chamber

[DWayne27]

Anyone done this route recently? Or at all in the winter? I am heading down to Moab this coming weekend, and need another good canyon that will be dry and pleasant. Not too interested in doing Tierdrop again.

Will we be OK in Medival Chamber without wetsuits or anything?

Medieval is usually dry and the route can be done with snow on the ground. medieval is pretty much just a nice hike through the desert with two interesting rappels. This is a good winter route. I've done Medieval while it was flashing and even then the water was only knee deep for 10 yards.

You might also consider doing Elephant Butte if you haven't done it already. Elephant Butte is one of my favorite Moab routes and a perfect 1/2 day route for canyoneers.
