Classic Death Valley Natl Park Hikes II Dec. 2-3, 2015
Dec 2nd; Fall Canyon
I wanted one big deep canyon and this one satisfied. I also wanted to scope the three known blockages for the potential future loop with Red Wall Canyon that Jason H. and Silence did a few years ago.
Dryfall obstruction 1 (mile 3 approx): Solid bucket holds, Class 3 bypass to a maintained trail, on upcanyon right.
Dryfall obstruction 2 (mile 6 approx): Solid positive holds Class 4/5 upcanyon left side of dryfall itself...fun. I'd probably sling haul a big pack. Possible hiking bypass high right.
Chokestone obstruction 3 (100yrds past obs 2): A bit tricky bypass upcanyon right to a steep gully of sorts with a couple chokestones of its own. Possible higher even easier bypass above.
Dec 3rd; Mesquite Dunes and start drivin'.
Nothing needs to be said:
