Uberfest: canyoneering Death Valley

Our first Uberfest / canyoneering meetup. One of my favorite parks, and we get to explore it in the most epic way most folks can’t. Ran Buttercup, Styx, and Arachnophobia.

Background

Death Valley hides world-class technical canyoneering — narrow slots that require rope, rappels, and real skills, a completely different park than the one tourists drive through. These are descents, not hikes: you need the gear, the experience, partners, and a hard read on the flash-flood forecast.
