Trachyte Area

4 canyons.

• 4B

  Redemption Canyon

  Wingate narrows with exactly one established anchor in the whole canyon, which means water anchors, sand traps, and a fiddlestick for the rest of the eight rappels.

  Hanksville, UT Unknown flood
• 3B R

  Trachyotomy Canyon

  A short Trachyte slot with one 35 foot rappel that now requires a free Garfield County permit, after enough parties needed rescuing out of it.

  Hanksville, UT Unknown flood
• 2A

  Trachyte Point Canyon

  One of the dozen or so east side tributaries of Trachyte Creek below Trachyte Point, graded 2A, so downclimbing and cross country navigation rather than rope work.

  Hanksville, UT Unknown flood
• 4B

  Woody Canyon

  Five miles and four to six hours spent solving potholes rather than rappelling. The Woody Keeper is the one everybody comes for, and the potshot throw that gets you out of it is not easy.
