Casablanca Canyon (South Fork)

A very short canyon with great views and a few challenges.

From the Casablanca canyon parking area walk up the canyon until you encounter a gully on the south (37.982024, -110.481763). Climb the gully nearly to the top, where a wider ledge layer can be followed around to the top of the canyon at 37.982024, -110.481763.

The entry drop can be downclimbed, but some groups may want to set up a rappel. Several other short drops can be bypassed or downclimbed. Mid-way through the canyon is a rappel that requires a sand trap and creative problem solving skills for the rope pull. It is advisable to bring a 150ft or longer pull rope for pulling the sand trap. Please use techniques to minimize rope grooves when pulling the sand trap down. It might be possible to break this rappel up into two, which may be a better option for reducing rope grooves...
