    Fallen Angel Dirty Devil River

    Fallen Angel a Dirty Devil River Slot 11-01-2009

    To celebrate Halloween/All Saints/All Souls days we descended the Dirty Devil slot Fallen Angel. Fallen Angel is a lot of fun - it has an easy approach, some nice rappels, a few dicey down climbs, a hike along the Dirty Devil and a scenic climb out. The rappels are close enough to each that we never bagged the rope - just dragged it to the next rappel. There was nothing tight in this dry canyon. We added a few more rocks to the last rappel anchor. It was a hauntingly beautiful day for canyoneering.

    Thanks to Climb-Utah for beta.

    It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

    That shot was taken at one the dicier downclimbs. Everybody got involved in helping the last guy down who had done a body belay from above. The guy in the blue helmet is straddling a large boulder (off camera) and a ledge below the other climbers.
