| "Congratulations on just finding this place.
It's a feat in itself. Undercover Canyon is a spectacular example of
what Utah canyoneering is all about. Challenging route finding over
slickrock slopes and cliffs to experience adventure in a stunningly
beautiful and remote canyon. It has everything for the slot canyoneer
fan, including free hanging rappels from dryfalls, chimney and spider
walking between narrow slots that converge to a width less than your
shoe, and an eye popping 150 foot rappel down from an overhang with an
awesome view. All without seeing a single other soul, except the
occasional crow or eagle.
I just completed a canyoneering course in Arizona a week after this trip, and I now have the technical knowledge to appreciate the backup belay systems and anchor techniques you used to assure a safe and enjoyable trip. Getting the guts to do your first 150 foot rappel doesn't come easy, and thanks to your guidance, I not only was able to overcome the initial fear and enjoy the descent. I became hooked and can't wait to descend even more remote, technical and beautiful canyons! I'm from Miami, and I see canyoneering as a lot like scuba diving. If you don't do it, you're missing out on truly experiencing a different world. Thanks for the adventure!" Eugene Ahn Salt Lake City, UT |
