MICRO DEATH HOLLOW,ESCALANTE
September 27, 2021
IMO Micro death hollow is one of the best canyons in escalante. I found this canyon to be relatively short, rich with variety, and a personality that doesn’t give up the goods
The roads were a bit much for the outback so we hiked the last bit to the canyon tail. Immediately you are welcomed as the top of the corridors where the entrance into this
canyon is one to remember.
The canyon has a 280 rap into a potential keeper pothole. This pot hole was dry but when we got into it, we found that a partner assist is a easy out, no problem.
We took our time to get down this and once we passed the first challenge we were stemming across some water to a clearing where the canyon opened up a bit.
Ahh. A bit of walking until we got into the narrow section, and it got pretty tight. It wasn’t too tight where a 180 lb person can’t get through but it was a good tummy rubber.
Continuing down we encountered some water to wade through than
the final section appeared.
We found some potholes with partner assist options and a rap that we got crafty with some potshots. The last rap was a nice drop into the river below.
Hiking up the river was a beautiful stage to exit up the checkerboard mesa. The views were incredible as we got to the top. I left the 330 rope that I used at the first rap so I hiked back down and pulled the rope up and made back to the cars right after the rest of the team made it.
