      Rock Climb Dragonfly Canyon

      This canyon is a bit more advanced as it requires a mandatory swim and most likely a section of wet pot holes to surmount which, if dry, can also pose their own challenge.

This particular route is bolted, so are most immediately surrounding it.  The route works across a few slabby, mildly spooky moves (slightly run out) at the beginning then cruises up a fun arete to the bolted a...
