Rating: 3A II
Length: 2-4 Hours
Gear: Standard Technical Gear
Raps: 2-3 (2 - 60M ropes are best)
Hype:
Not Tierdrop, so named because it is the neighbor of Tierdrop, is a mellow canyon in Arches. The canyon provides a big rappel, a couple of shorter rappels, interesting anchors, and phenominal views. This is a great casual canyoneering afternoon if you're in the Moab area.Login For Full Details!

My History:
I first did Not Tierdrop a couple of years ago at a FreezeFest with Tom Jones and Steve Ramras. We didn't have beta, but Ram had been on the mesa top before and the canyon had looked promising. I went back in the Spring of 2007 and did another trip through. It is a beautiful place, and provides a different perspective than the usual park trails. Ram agreed it was a good one to share, so I added it to the site.

At the bottom of the sandy exit, head right on the ledge system for 100m or so and the only obvious downclimb appears as a body sized "Notch" on your left. It has 2 tiers, 1st is about 15', 2nd is 7', both are downclimbable, we did them belly down, spots are welcome.
