Cherry Canyon 3AIII

Introduction:
I never got to do Cherry Canyon over Christmas week and so I'm making a second attempt. I'll be up in Las Vegas after my rope access certification and figured I would do some canyons before I head back. If weather permits and the virgin river water level is safe, this looks to be a really awesome canyon.

Max Rappel: 80'

Length: 4-7hrs

# of Raps: 8-10 (some raps are optional depending on group downclimbing skill)

Common Anchors: Natural Anchors/Trees

Estimated Elevation Gain: 1000'

Notable Obstacles:

We need to cross the virgin river which is at the start of our approach. Depending on the water level, it may be as simple as walking barefoot with your pants rolled up or packing an extra set of clothes and shoes in a drybag. If a drybag is necessary, we will stash our wet clothes for our exit hike out as we will be coming back the way we came.
Equipment: I have a 200' rope, webbing, rapides, and first aid kit. If someone can contribute a rescue rope that would be awesome.
