Black Void, Tributary of Fall Canyon, Grapevine Mountains, Death Valley Feb 17,2018

[french_de]

Descending Black Void, the rappels come fast and drop big, more of a cliffaneering experience.
We were back down in the Fall Wash pretty quick after climbing up the short cut-route to the ridges above Fall.

Fall canyon in the Grapevines has a different look and feel to the rock than other areas in the Park. Not too crumbly by DV standards, in the shade mostly

The canyon starts in a shallow slot followed immediately by the first rappel down a fluted dual stage. That is followed by a few pinch and knock chalk anchored rappels and ends with the partial free hang final rappel.

It is a very nice half day canyon.

Thanks to my canyoneering partners Lorin, Jeremy and Justin

Fantastic...I'm jealous. As soon as it warms back up, I feel a road trip comin' on.
