Keyhole Canyon

I did my first canyon today with a group of friends from bogley.com. there were ten of us that went through Keyhole. we staged two vehicles at the exit of keyhole and hiked a few hundred feet up the road.

after a small hike we started to climb the slick rock to the top of Keyhole Canyon. there is a real sketchy down climb just before you get to the canyon that kept me on my toes.

when we got to the bottom of the down climb we suited up for the start of The fun stuff.

The start of the canyon was awesome had a dozen or so down climbs that required a little bit of thinking… most were 6 to 10 feet and sometimes it was hard to tell because the water may only be 5 feet down but there is no way of knowing how deep it is until someone climbs down.

The canyon was a little cold but still enjoyable the two rappels were super easy and the canyon was gorgeous.

this is an awesome butterfly that let all 10 people pass by in a small slot within a foot of touching it. the cool thing to note is the back of the wings look like char cloth that has been lit on the ends with a small orange glow.
