Poison Fest 2015
What happens when you gather 8 people to do 3 canyons in one day? POISON FEST!
As I think about this trip I am amazed. This group consisted of 8 people. 3 of whom I have never met before. 1 who came from out of state and even one who came from out of the country! Brett drove 8+ hours from New Mexico, and Joel came all the way from Canada! The rest of us were local Utahn's.
This was a quality group of canyoneers. We had a few who were new to the sport, but we also had 5 of the 8 who have been professionally trained in canyoneering; so when we began our adventure in the canyons, it was no surprise to me how efficiently the large group moved through the slots.
The canyons we visited were: (TR's coming soon)
- Constrichnine
- Slideanide
- Arsenic
Each was a lot of fun and very beautiful! Constrichnine has some really good rappels and chambers. Slideanide was a blast! The big elevators in that canyon are so fun. Aresnic has a wonderful 3 stage rappel start, and some pretty narrows to finish it off.

good job doing all three. when we got there, there was only time for Arscenic (at our pace) the first, so did the other two the next day...
Someone had a fat dynamic line set up at first Arscenic rap that was sawing through the sandstone... not even from the rope pull, but just the bounce from them rapping on that rubber band rope.
other anchors were generally rat's nests..
