Wilson Arch regular route

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

The rappel anchors as of June 1, 2018. All the bolts are solid, and did not feel the need to add any webbing to what was already there. We climbed it in approach shoes.
Rappel from the anchors at Wilson Arch
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
rap anchors as of March 2014
Wilson Arch topo. A 70 m rope is needed to climb it this way.
