Fun simul-rap off of Wilson Arch. We used two 60m ropes with a webbing & rap ring set-up to avoid excessive wear on the arch when retrieving the ropes. With 30m of rope off each side of the arch we had just enough length to make it to ground. This is the webbing setup we used, but with about 10 feet of webbing: http://canyonwiki.com/wiki/index.php/Advanced_Canyoneering_Anchors#Simul-rap

Truly a bucket list rappel
Wilson arch regular route - dude standing at start of route. Route follows ridge to left in picture.
frictiony slab/think crack part
Gearing up to start the climbing on the ridge leading up Wilson Arch. You can see the first two steps that are the 5.3 climbing. The rest is easier slab. Fun, sandy climb. Great rappel. You can just see the arch lit up to the left of center. 5-11-2008
