REDWALL CANYON MAIN FORK, DEATH VALLEY
March 09, 2021
Redwall canyon is a rarely visited non-technical canyon in Death Valley.
I am assuming the lack of a road leading to the canyon head, the lack of a sign, and a two mile hike with no trail might confuse a few people.
That is a good sign for me to get into a canyon what has seen very few visitors.
Actually a place that has only seen one other group
We accessed Redwall canyon through the technical northwest fork .
dropping into the drainage only required 5 raps to get into the main fork.
There is a lot of effort that was put into that canyon for a unique and rewarding narrow canyon.
This was a very easy walk with some interesting colors and geology happening throughout the canyon
There is one downclimb that used a handline in place.
The handline looks pretty good as of this writing but it will need to be changed in the near future.
There were some old school slings attached to the handline that might have been there for some time.
