Location 

The road to Two Finger canyon is 1.5 miles south of the turn off to Three Fingers Canyon and 4.5 miles from the Hanksville road entrance. The road for the first 1/4 mile is not easy seen,go past the pond and the road can be seen rising up to the left across slick rock. From here the road is easy all the way to the canyon

Protection 

Perhaps a few cams up to 11/2" and a couple of stoppers. Slings .Two 60m ropes for rappels.
