Be sure to watch in 1080p!
Upper Greasewood Draw is a canyon that is worth doing at least once. It wasn't as fun as Upper Three Fingers Canyon which is just to the North of this one, but is still a good one to check off your list. There are 5 mandatory rappels and a bunch of down climbs. The 4th rappel is a 2-stage rappel using the anchor at the top. We had a 115ft rope and ended up needing to tie 50ft of webbing to one end to make a pullcord to get down the second tier. It barely was long enough. I'm estimating you need at least 85ft of rope plus another 85ft of pullcord to rappel that 2-stage rap. When the Canyon opens up and you can see out over the Reef it's time to exit out on the left side of the canyon and work your way back to the car.
I shot this video with my GoPro HERO3 Black Edition camera at 1080p at 30fps and edited with iMovie. I had my GoPro mounted to my GoScope Extreme which is a telescoping pole and it works great with the J-Hook mount! Get your GoScope at http://go-scope.com.
