Rappel from the anchors at Wilson Arch
ID 114510502 ·
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

Rapping off Wilson arch in the supermoon
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
Would have simul-rapped, but wanted to get this sick pano of @Dr. Conway in-between shifts.

Wilson Arch topo. A 70 m rope is needed to climb it this way.
