The Dante canyons were explored starting in November 2005 and put on a "show
don't tell" status. Folks that were shown, showed others. Over 200 people have
been in the system under this agreement, perhaps many more (no one knows for
sure). The canyons remain remarkably pristine after perhaps 1000 total
person-descents. Please avoid trampling the crytobiotic soil. Stay in washes and
on slickrock. No bolts are necessary, though some anchors are moderately tricky.
Many drops are short and succumb to meat anchoring and last man capture
techniques. Please extend your black, olive, tan or grey webbing where
necessary, so no rope grooves form. Be prepared to rig every anchor as the the
anchors wash out regularly. Please leave the canyons as clean as possible. Be
careful and enjoy!...........
