just waiting for june than... there are a lot of awesome looking canyons in that area..

[Mojave Silence]

Fox Creek (aka--"Great Falls of the Fox") is the best canyon in that zone, and one of the best in so-cal, IMO.

[socal]

Fox: Be prepared for some marginal and creative anchoring issues. I was in there a year ago (w/ a USFS special use permit) and the bolts were in bad shape; several drops had next to nothing for anchoring, you may need to build a few deadman anchors. As soon as it reopens I'm gonna haul the Bosch in there and do some work, let me know if you have any interest in going.

Nice video! I liked the choice in music hehe. Was that a rockslide at 2:03 I saw?

[socal]
