Escalante Route backpack in the Grand Canyon (great beta for those considering it & great views if you just want to see this off-corridor area.) The challenges consist of the Dox Traverse, Papago Wall, Papago Slide, and hike back up to the top. The Papago Slide descent video, 1st person viewpoint, is linked through in this video - I attempted to capture it in a fairly continuous shoot for those considering it in the future. Overall this is not a backpack for those w/ a significant fear of heights; if you concentrate on your footwork it is easier to disregard the visual cliffs. Happy to have taken this route from E to W, in order to hike in the AMs w/ sunshine @ my back. Minimal talk & selfies.
