Shenanigans
Four narrows sections, each tighter than the one before it, and RopeWiki does not hedge: you should be skinny, and if you are claustrophobic go somewhere else.
Bring the smallest packs you own and cut the gear list to match, because pack size is what decides whether you fit. The first narrows holds a pool near 38.0593, -110.49023 that is usually waist deep. An early exit sits on canyon left after the third narrows, marked by a rockfall ramp, and it is worth knowing about: the fourth narrows is the most constricting and most sustained part of the day. It opens with the Grim Crawl, a crawl along a wide ledge on the right that avoids a 40 foot dryfall, and the technical section ends on a 45 foot rappel. From the approach at 38.06394, -110.48458 it is about ten minutes to the first drop, a 10 foot sheer drop off a ledge followed by a 25 foot dry flute; an alternate rim walk gets around that entry. Many parties finish by continuing down Leprechaun to a shuttle vehicle.
