Mile 1.4
Slickrock ravine drops
A series of steep drops runs through a slickrock ravine with no documented alternate.
Before you continue
Walk the sequence and commit only when the full group can descend it.
What catches people
Each drop changes the setup for the next, so poor first placement compounds through the ravine.
Conditions change it
Sand, water, and erosion change ledge height and traction.
Fit
Low range, clearance, strong approach and departure angles, and a spotter.
