Overview

Hype:

Duckett Canyon, while very short, does not disappoint. It offers beginner groups several partner assist and team work problems to overcome, while never feeling overly committing or hard. The hardest section is at the very start and can be avoided if needed. Though the canyon can sometimes be dry, I recommend bringing a wetsuit. It's no fun to freeze!

Story

After Short Canyon, we met up with Matt and hung out at camp for a couple hours then Matt, Alex, Tara, Savannah, and I did Duckett Slot while Amanda stayed back with the rest of the kids. The canyon was awesome. It was wet but not too cold. We got back just in time for dinner and cooked hot dogs on the fire.
