4 Canyons, 7 hrs, 12.5 miles!!

Monday May 16th Jared headed to North Wash to do some scouting for a youth group.  The group leader Jeff is planning on bringing a group to the North Wash area for an introduction to Canyoneering.  Jeff wanted to get a good idea of some of the canyons there and what Jared had in mind to take them through as well as put together some videos and pictures to take back and show the group.  The two of them hit the slot canyons hard, fast, and as light as possible that day and did both forks of the Blarney's and then moved on to both forks of the Shillelagh's.  12.5 miles of hiking 4 forks of canyons in 7 hours and Jared was back home in time for dinner.  Here is the video that Jeff shot and edited down from 7 hours worth of clips and photos into this little gem.  Enjoy Canyoneering North Wash!

  1. Great video! It is great to actually have listen-able music to vids.
    I had the opportunity May 27, 2010 to do all 7 forks of the Irish canyons (2 Shilaleighs, 2 Blarneys, 3 Leprechauns)all in a day. We made it home in time for dinner also, if you consider 'home' camp and dinner after dark 'in time'. We went light, but not very fast. It sure was fun, though. I would do it, again. Any takers?

  2. Penny,
    Thanks for the comment and coming back and visiting the website. OK, I thought we were hardcore doing that much canyon, you beat us hands down. All the Irish Canyons in one day would be a long day. Good on you guys for pulling it off, of course, if I would expect anyone to do it, it would be your group. Hope I run into you sometime again out in the area.

  3. Would love to tag along. We've been looking at doning those for some time. Just let us know when we are pretty local (in utah) so we are pretty flexible. Take care.

  4. Tammy, We were just out there Saturday for a day trip through Leprechaun. We offered a Free trip through the Right fork. We offer specials occasionally, and some open trip announcements through our Facebook page. If you are on Facebook, look us up and "Like" our page and we'll try to stay in contact.
