Technical descents

Multi-pitch rappels, pothole escapes, and real rigging.

Commitment, quantified

Technical canyons stack the problems — a rappel into a pothole, an escape from it, a full-length swim, a second rappel off a hanging anchor. Each one is doable. The stack is the route.

What to expect

pitches   2–6 rappels, 20–60m each
rigging   bolts + natural, checked twice
escape    none after the first pitch
commit    3C–4C · dawn to dusk

How we beta it

Technical routes carry a gear list, a water requirement, and a bail option for every pitch. If there's no bail, the page says so in red.
