Overview

Hype:

The Upper portion of Double Entendre does not require a shuttle and can be completed in 1-2 hours. The upper portion is all downclimbs and stemming for those with stemming skills and high fitness. This is not a canyon for beginners. A couple spots might hold water after recent rains, but the canyon is generally dry. Stemming is straightforward with heights up to 15 feet above the ground.

Time: 1-2 hours

Story

We had some extra time after doing Triple Bypass, so we did the upper portion of Double Entendre. We had a great time and went through rather quickly with no issues.
