This one is well hidden and very tight. It should be called dead virgin canyon because it's tight and cold.

There are a lot of slots out there.

This last part is the worst. The water is cold and deep. It isn't possible to stem the gap and avoid the water. So you have to drag yourself through the freezing cold water to escape from the slot.

Looks like a great little adventure you had, Good for you brother!
Where exactly is that?
Never mind , I just googled it, I got to get out there.
 
If you think Keyhole is tight, then you need to get out to the North Wash area, ROTFLMAO, sorry. We did Keyhole last year in the dark (under moonlight), it was a blast, very cool.
 
Oh gotcha..Well lucky you huh! I took a weeklong trip out there several years ago.. probably going to head back down this spring. Maybe the weekend after next.

That looks difficult! :eek:

Reminds of a place I used to visit every summer....Crack Canyon was really nice and secluded!
