This is now my favorite canyon in Arches NP.
Short approach, marvelous rappels, a dark rabbit hole downclimb,
amazing scenery, a 5.5/5.6 friction climb exit, views into the more popular section
of Arches and great views of Covert Arch.
There is so much crypto to tiptoe around out there!
The friction climb leads to the "Sidewalk", a unique sandstone
ramp/ledge that can be "walked" over and around a Knob of Navajo
where an easy climb up to the top awaits. From there it is a short walk
to the top of Covert Arch.
