Description

The gorge is a unique slot canyon existing within the larger Middle Canyon area. The developed lines are steep with cryptic and engaging climbing.

Getting There

Hike uphill from the parking at the end of the Middle Canyon road. At the top of the first steep hill take a right (east) and walk about 50 yards to the mouth of the canyon. Hiking down the slot canyon, there are bolted climbs on the right side.

Alternatively, the slot canyon can be climbed from the bottom. While walking towards the first steep hill described above, keep your eyes open for an entrance to the canyon on the right. This can be entered low and ascended at 4th class (maybe a low 5th class move) to reach the climbing.
