ACA 4B
Unknown flood risk
Ticaboo, UT
Pothole escapes, stemming and a long run of downclimbing, then a sandtrap rappel that lands in a keeper pothole partway down.
Both drops are sandtrap rappels, so somebody in the party has to be fluent with that anchor and with pothole escape gear before the group commits. RopeWiki calls the big one a 200 foot two stage with a keeper pothole in the middle; a water anchor at that pothole breaks it into a roughly 150 foot lower stage. There are no fixed anchors, so whatever you build is what you get. The Ticaboo Mesa roads want high clearance and none of this is close to help.
