Glutton For Punishment

verified Ungraded Unknown flood risk

Beginning with a dramatic dark slot and finishing with an "endless" series of potholes. This canyon showed signs of an early descent.

RopeWiki's page is close to bare: an intro line, then no approach, no descent beta, no rappel count. Treat it as an exploratory objective rather than something you can research in advance, and carry the tools to solve potholes on your own, because Capitol Reef prohibits placing new fixed anchors and bans power drills, so whatever you use has to be retrievable or already there. The park requires a free canyoneering permit for every route inside the boundary, self serve at the visitor center kiosk or by email to care_permits@nps.gov, with technical groups capped at eight. Also catalogued as No Margin.
