Hype
Arscenic is a great, short canyon on the south side of Poison Spring. A three stage rap at the start leads you into a canyon with a few downclimbs, and one particularly spectacular corkscrew section.The canyon, like it's neighbors Slideanide and Constrychnine, offers an opportunity to practice downclimbing skills. Most of the drops are short, and yield well to spotting and team work. It is a good beginner canyon with a little teamwork.
