Egypt Two, Escalante, UT. Natural Anchors, Water, and Downclimbing
Made the dash to the Escalante... First on the agenda: Egypt Two. Yeah, you've driven by it a dozen times. It looks interesting, but if it's not in the bible...
OK, with a little information, we kitted up and headed off to do it. With a 300 foot rope, one could probably rap off the bumper into the exact head of the canyon. But none of us had such a beastly rope, so we hiked around the left side and searched for an easy way in. The terrain was quite interesting...
And our Egypt Two adventure was over. BETA: A short day. 2 or 3 raps to 80 feet. Easy natural anchors. Maybe some potholes up to chest deep. Have fun. And - and - and - really, the classy way to start would be the 300' rappel, right at the head. Leave the rope tied off to the car, pad the edge. Good camping right on the slickrock.
