Moab, UT
Elephant Butte but bigger and better. Don't expect any prebuilt anchors.
Rappel 1 - fiddlestick leaning boulder 150-200ft Rappel 2 - 230-250 ft free hang from edge of cliff. Anchor off tree 50 ft back from edge or get creative. There are a couple ledges and boulders you could maybe get creative with.
