Death Canyon, North Wash

Bottom pool mostly mud. Deadman anchor is gone currently there is a single knot block in place. Alternatively there is a slung chock stone that could be rigged with a releasable anchor. Rebuilding the deadman would likely require up-hauling rocks from below which at the moment will result in a muddy mess.

At the base of the one rappel, there was only a very small pool of water and a large, flat area of mostly stable sand but there was some "quicksand" in a few spots. Was able to assist most everyone over it easily. Present anchor is a deadman with extended sling about 10-15 feet back from the main drop. The wedged chockstone farther back is covered with plant debris & would be difficult to use now.
