Timber Terror Canyon

This canyon is on the local land managers radar, anchors must be cleared with the manager before a complete attempt. Only the final rappel and slides have been done, leaving the majority of the canyon open to a first descent. Anchors are scarce and without bolts likely impassable.

Leave from the big timber creek parking lot, go passed the campground and on the trailhead. The trail will split with a social trail on the left appearing. You may use the social trail to check water depth. Then leave the trail when it bends right. Go left and follow the slotted creek up until the first slot ends. This is likely the ideal starting place.

This section is a guess from spotting and has not actually been done! R1: 20 feet from tree DCL. Slot tightens, be careful of siphons! R2: 35 feet into a deep pool. Bolts likely needed. 1st Traverse line 20 feet to down canyon left side. R3: 45 feet into a deep pool. Emergency exit exists before the next committing section DCL. R4: 100 feet? from natural anchor? Cross the watercourse DCR. R5: 60 feet from slabby wall DCR. Bolts needed for anchor. This section has been done. Swim out of the slot and down the corridor. Enjoy the pools and slides below, be wary of undercuts! Finish the technical portion and walk down the creek approxemtnly 100 yards until the creek bends right.

Exit the creek and take the old logging road to your car. 10 min.
