Middle Fork of Maidenwater - Trachyte
Middle Fork Of Maidenwater

Overview:

Rating: 3A/B II
Length: 2-4 Hours
Gear: Standard Technical Gear
Raps: 0-2+ (biggest rap 10M - 33 ft.)

Hype:

The middle fork of Maidenwater is a great canyon to practice your natural anchor and/or down climbing skills. The canyon can be downclimbed/upclimbed by the highly skilled, but most will do 2 or 3 rappels. This fork is much shorter and easier than the South Fork.

For the non-technical, parking at the road and hiking up the bottom as far as you are comfortable is a great outing to stretch your legs. The section of canyon just above the road is very good, and easily accessed by the non-technical.

My History:

I have been in the canyon a couple of times. The first was back in 2002 or 2003, and again more recently in 2007.
