This canyon starts out with a bang. Three twenty foot jumps back-to-back. Before jumping where the landing is uncertain, we send a scout down to check the water depth. There are no bolts or anchors here, so instead we use my body weight as the counterweight to lower Joel down the falls so that he can ascertain that the pool is at least 8 feet deep in the landing zone.
