Back Canyon

Description

A  quick series of four difficult, stair-stepping drops with all the gradient of the Third and Fourth slides but no eddies in-between. The entrance is choosy but a couple of large slabs of rock fell in 2010 and made a new ledge under the footbridge just above the narrow pinch. Watch out for the table saw fin rock on the right. The next drop has A gnar pocket hole in the center and is usually boofed far right, but left goes too. Try to get left for the last drop. Then a 2 foot ledge at Fishladder confluence.  Optimal around 4.0,  High water will often deposit trees in the pinch
