After Cliffs of Insanity we headed back up the hill to descend Pits of Despair before
the sunset. We got up the hill in pretty good time since Pits and Cliffs are close together.

The raps in Pits are up to 200ft and there are a total of 8 raps to be found in this canyon. The raps are pretty straightforward and they are in rapid fire succession, especially in the lower half.

We brought a 210ft rope and equivalent pull cord which worked out perfectly with this canyon. I recommend bringing extra webbing to replace the existing webbing in the canyon.

I enjoyed Cliffs a bit better than pits but if you combine both of these canyons in a day, I think you will walk out of the bridge with a smile.
