Farnsworth canyon

[peakbagger1971]

Took a trip down to Farnsworth canyon in the swell. We had an awesome time in the slot and I had my first experience repelling down the 200 foot drop through Jug Handle Arch. Here's some pics

aw there you go! nice pics and TR.

If the weather holds out I am going to take my kids there to hike the lower end of the canyon this weekend. That short narrow section in the reef is pretty awesome.

How did that first anchor look? I put that in a few years ago, drilled angles I think, and was thinking of going back and removing it as I'm not so sure it is safe anymore. I didn't think anyone actually did this route!!!

And the second anchor?

Anyway, February 2008 we went up Farnsworth and down Old Woman. Here's a full trip album:

Farsworth was very pleasant, but the water in Old Woman was freakin' cold:

I was looking around up there two years ago and I didn't find them. But it was getting dark so maybe I just didn't see them.

Nice TR! I haven't done hardly anything this year, and your pictures have helped to inspire me.

The anchors looked great. Used new webbing and we all got down safely. Thanks for providing those.
