Escalante, UT
Yet another high stemming game.
Three things define the day, per the only beta RopeWiki carries: medium height stemming, a sketchy partner capture, and a final rappel worth the walk in. An optional X silo crossing and an X downclimb are available and can be declined without ending the descent, which makes this a reasonable step up for a party with R miles and no X miles. Seven miles of ground and a 3B III R rating means a full day. Bring a partner you would trust to catch you, because the capture is not optional. There is no approach, descent or exit description on the page, so plan on route finding from the map.
