Went into the Upper Falls at Johnson Canyon today.

 

The main area, on the right side, was fat as per usual with lines form WI2 to 3.

The pillars to the left were either not touching or just barely touching down. They looked scary with a lot of large hanging icicles all around. I wouldn’t top rope any of them right now.

 

This area is very hazardous for the unwary and uninformed. Many climbers and especially the ‘canyon walkers’ do not realize the hazard under these daggers. Stay very clear of them and warn those that don’t.
