Moneda is a pit that has some interesting colum formations and a unique place to visit in Mallorca. 

We chose the multi stage option which had a 60 ft drop into this cave

The formations had some moss on them and was quite beautiful in nature. 

This is a great option for a day of caving and you can add another cave to this day for a full day of caving.

This cave appears to be 1000 ft of passage with very very decorated rooms and in cave pits. 

There is a walk in entrance that leads to a 15 ft climb

right after there is a 15 ft rap to a passage that leads to a decorated room. 

a few crawls and a slide takes you to a very decorated room with a climb leading to a 60 ft pit. 

there are more decorated rooms down there and the cave ends. 

Son Pou is a large pit located on the island of Mallorca Spain. 

This is a 150 open air pit that is free hanging from the top. 

This cave is closed but we did not see any posted sign closures. 

The hike is a nice gradual 1 hour hike to the cave itself. 

There is an entrance where you can walk in and walk out but it was locked. 

we assumed that the walk in entrance is locked so people wouldnt go in but we rappeled in from the top. 

The cave itself has a massive void and some interesting artifacts inside. 

there is some going cave passage but it all ends relatively soon after leaving this room. 

This was a beautiful cave to rappel and ascend out of 

Jabroni canyon is a Black range canyon located next to Jibaro canyon

There were 8 rappels we encountered on this canyon with an additional 2 rappels from the north fork of Jibaro canyon.  It is possible to traverse the ridge over to Jabroni but we decided to descend down jibaro canyons north fork to get a bit extra fun 

There were some nice overhung rappels and some great spots to enjoy the scenery. 

You can pack raft down to AZ hot springs to make your exit and your approach hike is the same for Jibaro canyon. 

Make sure to bring extra webbing to replace as needed. 

also make sure you have a pack raft to float down to your desired exit. 

Red Velvet canyon is a technical descent into the beautiful Colorado river in Arizona. 

The canyon is adjacent to Blue Velvet canyon. 

Although it is not as narrow and scenic as its neighbor, Red Velvet offers more open and bigger views of the Colorado river than Blue Velvet. 

The approach is the same as Blue Velvet but instead of entering Blue Velvet you will enter the drainage right before ( to the right of Blue Velvet) 

The descent is straightforward and we found 5 raps up to 100 feet in length. 

We build Deadman anchors and at the time of this writing, we did not find any signs of prior visitation. 

There is also a chance to bypass the last rappel and enter the blue velvet beach. 

Lots of options. 

Once at the river inflate your packraft don your PFD and head to AZ hot springs or down to cranes nest.  

Please do not place any bolts in this canyon 

They are not needed and there is plenty of anchorage building material 

you can set up camp at AZ springs and loop a number of these canyons in a fun weekend of canyoneering. 

enjoy!
