There's probably already a thread on this, but what options are there for waterfall rappelling in the Wasatch. Here's what I currently know (north to south):

Adams Waterfall
Hidden Falls
Lisa Falls
Great White Icicle
Rocky Mouth Canyon
Stewart Falls
Bridal Veil Falls

Malans waterfall (waterfall canyon in Ogden).

Also, you could add "Lower Adams Waterfall" to that list, although it is just 15feet. But it is a very short approach.

And there is Grotto Falls in Payson.

Scout Falls (along the trail to summit Timp from the AF side) looks interesting. Haven't heard of anyone dropping it though.

Do you have any pictures of this rap, the rope-eater?

Sorry Jman everytime I try to post pictures on bogley it doesn't work. I will have to play with it more when I get home. The rap that I believe is eating ropes is the very last rap. The big 300 ft where everyone is standing at the base lol.

I've descended the entire Lisa Falls couloir ropeless at the end of May early one morning. Crampons were necessary. A rope was not. Very canyoneering esque. Pretty significant approach though. I suppose you could rap the last waterfall instead of walk around it and there are a few places where a nonclimber would prefer to rappel up higher too, but they were downclimbable in those conditions. I know the skiers who do it earlier in the year usually do one rappel, but it's not at Lisa Falls. I think most just hike around that spot.
