Hype:
Pandora's holds a special place in my heart. It was one of the first canyons I explored without beta. The first time we checked it out, we found no signs of passage, and fixed the first several drops. Impressed by what we found, but out of rope and time, we retreated to come back and finish it another day. Since then I have done the whole canyon several times, and just the upper section another 3 or 4 times. It never fails to impress. The canyon was done without the use of bolts.Pandora's has a unique character. The canyon is in the Wingate layer and follows/crosses many joints. This gives the characteristic of alternating between tight slot sections, and open areas. This canyon is bound to have something for everyone. Expect physical sections that are narrow, and lot's of beauty.
