04-28-2006, 06:46 AM #2Red Hollow is a fun canyon that is off the beaten path. The canyon requires complete technical gear to descend. Navigation for this route is easy. Red Hollow is rated 3A II using the Canyon Rating System. You do not need a Zion backcountry permit for this canyon.
I know it's part of your circle of friends thing - but just a few questions about it:
1. How long of an approach?
2. How many raps?
3. Rope length needed?
4. How long of an exit?
5. How long in the canyon?
That one long rap looks fun - but if it's a 12 hour hike for a single 300 foot rap, and then a 17 hour exit you can understand why I wouldn't be too excited.-----

If you had of read the teaser you would know the entire route is a half-day affair and that Red Hollow is rated 3A II using the Canyon Rating System.
The 3 means no fancy rope work, pothole escapes, or extremely difficult technique is required. The A means its dry, the II means half-a-day.

That looks like a blast!
FYI for those who aren't members: Rap length is 265 feet, with much of it being free-hanging. (Membership has it's privileges... )It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

I just added a minor update to the Red Hollow route description.
Red Hollow
http://climb-utah.com/Zion/redhollow.htm
The entrance rappel (Direct Route) was measured at 295', with 280' of the rappel being free air. Looks like we now have a place to practice our Heaps skills or test different big rap combinations.

last time home i got a 93 meter rope
but it is like englestaed that you have to carry all the way in thecanyon?
if it is worthed i will try to make RC to thinking about it,
i love it englesteda rap and not planning to do any heaps before getting a drysuit the freezing cold is not for me
see you soon
by the way the metal sound i as thinking were the biners attach to you harness to increase friction (nice to weight only 117lb going down on a single 8mm)

You have to carry the rope through the canyon.... but its a short canyon, maybe 4 hours total.
You really think RC is man enough?
Did ya tell RC you were spending this weekend with the "love machine"?

WARNING:
Recently I have received reports that the dirt road to the upper Red Hollow Trailhead has a gate and is signed "No Trespassing". To date the property owner has been good about allowing access to those who seek permission, use good manners and promise to close the gate.
Sorry, but I do not have contact information for the property owner. If somebody has this info please post it.
