the day.
Distance - 6.7 miles Total, 0.8 miles Technical
Rappels - 0 Rappels, Longest Rappel N/A feet.
Elevation Range - 4965 - 4600 Feet

Permit Required - No
Knee and elbow pads for protection while stemming. It may be a
good idea to have a 40 foot length of rope or webbing to assist
someone if needed.
We had both small and large people on our trip so we
split up so we could tell one another about the high and low routes. If you
decide to go low the route has some spots you will fight your way through
between very skinny narrow walls. Going low is only for little / thin people
who like work or for larger people who like to suffer in spaces they feel
they may not make it out of. Lower Brimstone is not a route for big
barrel chested people.
The R+ rating is due to stemming up to 30 feet off
the deck between vertical walls with few features and crumbly rock.
Also in the risk factor was if you go low in the beginning of the canyon and
find you do not fit it can be very difficult to reverse back up canyon due
to how tight it.
There is potential for these canyons to hold a little
bit of water to knee high in places but they should be dry except right
after recent rains. While no ropes are mandatory in these canyons I still
rate these with a technical rating of 4 to alert people that these do
require some skill to safely navigate. The route has stemming to heights
that could cause injury or death if mistakes are made. I prefer to rate this
a 4 even though it does not require ropes instead of calling it a 2 and end
up with people expecting an easy class 2 canyon and biting off more than
they can chew. This is one of those times where the rating system is a bit
flawed.
The Beast / Lower Brimstone is short and can be combined with other short
routes in the area. When we visited ROC we combined The Beast, ROC and
the Spooky Peek-a-Boo Loop, all in 7.5 hours. This route description
is written for directions to do ROC only. If you wish to combine
routes pull out the map and look at descriptions for others in the area and
mix and match at will.
To get to the Trailhead
From the city of Escalante drive about 4 miles southeast on Hwy
12 to the turn off for Hole-In-The-Rock road on the right (extHoleInRock). The condition
of the dirt Hole in the Rock road
varies
a lot with recent rains and road maintenance. High clearance
may be needed in extreme cases but most of the time passenger
cars will be fine for the first 30 or 40 miles on Hole in the
Rock road.
Travel about 26 miles southeast on
Hole-In-The-Rock road to the turn off for the Dry Fork trailhead
to the left (extDryForkTH1). From Hole-In-The-Rock road drive about 0.8 miles
to a fork in the road (extDryForkTH2) and turn left (north) at
this fork. After turning left at the fork continue 0.9
miles to the Dry Fork
trailhead (tDryFork). The distance from Hole-In-The-Rock road to the
trailhead is about 1.65 miles.
Most of the time the road conditions on the Hole in the Rock and
the road to Dry Fork trailhead are good. The last half
mile to the trailhead may be difficult for some passenger cars.
If you find the last half mile a bit difficult for your car, you
can park and walk the last part.
To leave the Exit Vehicle / Escape Pod
No exit vehicle is needed. This is done as an out and back
route.

The Approach:
From trailhead (tDryFork)
follow the trail going
north leaving the
parking area. After
about 400 feet the trail
will fade away where you
will find a steep slope
of slick rock. Route
find your way northwest
down the slick rock down
to the flat desert floor
below. After getting to
the bottom of the steep
slick rock slope, route
find your way north
about 700 feet over to
the top of
(wDryForkRP-01) a deep
side drainage dropping
northeast down into
DryFork of Coyote Gulch.
From the head
(wDryForkRP-01) of a the
deep slot / drainage
dropping down into Dry
Fork. Follow down into
this drainage for about
0.16 miles where you
will find yourself in
the Dry Fork Drainage.
Once down in Dry Fork of
Coyote Gulch
(wDryForkRP-02) turn
right to walk east(ish)
down canyon in the Dry
Fork drainage. About
250 feet down canyon is
the bottom exit of the
Peek-A- Boo slot (yPeek-A-BooBt)
which will be on the
left (north) side of the
wash.
Note:
A visual clue to know
you are at the bottom of
Peek-a-Boo slot is
looking up at it you
will see a need to climb
up in it to get to the
slot above (this is in
contrast to the bottom
of Spooky Slot where you
can walk into the
bottom).
Continue
east down Dry Fork about
0.28 miles to where a
trail leaves the main
wash (jFrk2Spooky) and
goes off to the left
over to the bottom of
the Spooky Slot.
Stay right and stay in
the main wash and
continue as it bends
right.
About 0.3 miles down the
wash the Spooky Canyon
drainage will join (jSpookyBt)
in from the left.
Continue down Dry Fork a
little over 500 feet to
the up canyon end
(DryFork71) of a walk
through slot in Dry Fork
about 400 feet long.
From the down canyon end
(DryFork72) of the 400
foot long walk through
slot, walk down Dry Fork
about 400 feet to the up
canyon end (DryFork73)
of another walk through
slot in Dry Fork about
850 feet long.
From the down canyon end
(DryFork74) of the 850
foot long walk through
slot, walk down Dry Fork
about 0.4 miles to the
confluence of Brimstone
(jBrimstoneLwr)where it
joins in from the left.
From the confluence of
Dry Fork and Lower
Brimstone (jBrimstoneLwr)
turn left and walk north
up Lower Brimstone.
There is large sandstone
hill about 200 feet wide
at the confluence which
you can walk around
either side to start up
Brimstone.
About 400 feet up
Brimstone is a sand hill
on the left
(BrimSndDune1).
Continue up Brimstone
past the sand dune about
0.3 miles to Patch of a
few large trees (jROC-ViaBrim)
on the right (east) side
of the drainage. These trees also
make a great shady rest
spot on a hot day. Also
a good spot to stash
small packs if you want
to lighten your load for
a short side trip from
here.
Note:
If going up to
do ROC scrambling up the
slickrock to the east up
behind these trees gets
you to the east rim of
Brimstone where you can
then go over to ROC. A
little over 300 feet
away the route will top
out in a mix of rolling
slickrock and dirt.
If going up to do The
Beast / Lower Brimstone
route you will continue
up Brimstone past these
trees about 700 feet to
the up canyon end of the
sand hill along the left
(west) side.
Continue up the wash
about 700 feet to the up
canyon end (Brim40) of
the sand hill along the
left (west) side.
Route find your way up
the sand hill along the
RDC / LUC (west) side of
the canyon with a
moderate angle to get up
onto the west rim of
Brimstone Gulch.
Once at the top of the
sand hill and on the rim
of Brimstone (Brim41)
veer right and route
find your way north in
easy to navigate rolling
slickrock along the rim
of Brimstone.
About 750 feet along the
rim the route goes
around the head of a
bowl (Brim42) like
contour of the rim of
Brimstone.
Continue about 0.32
miles to where the route
goes around a small
ravine / slot (Brim43)
dropping down into
Brimstone. From here you
have views over the now
narrow Brimstone below.
Continuing north stay
closer to the rim of
Brimstone and not going
higher up on the
slickrock slopes to the
left (west). About 0.6
miles north you will see
a confluence down in
Brimstone where you can
scramble down in (yBrimLowerTp).
Scrambling down into
this confluence from the
west rim is steep and a
little sketchy.
The Canyoneering / Technical Section:
Once down in the
canyon Walk down canyon
in sand as the walls get
more narrow for about
400 feet to a pinch
point in the canyon.
The pinch point (Brim44)
is where you will need
to stem / galumph up and
over about 8 feet before
dropping back down to
the canyon floor where
the slot becomes more
narrow and deep feeling
and the walls become
more sculpted. Over the
next 200 feet or so the
walls will get more and
more narrow until larger
people can no longer fit
between the walls.
When the canyon gets
very narrow larger
people will want to stem
up to continue down
canyon by stemming /
galumphing. Small people
who enjoy thrashing
around in deep skinny
slots can push forward.
If you went high,
stemming / galumphing is
easy with a few semi
wide silo like spots to
go over that are also
easy. If you went low,
travel on the canyon
floor is work as you try
to squeeze between the
walls and make your way
around awkward sculpted
features in the walls.
Low is very tight and
skinny in places.
About 1000 feet down
canyon (Brim45-GoLow)
the high route is about
35 feet off the deck and
down canyon travel does
not look as easy since
the walls become more
vertical with fewer
ledges and features.
Here is a gaper like
hole with a wide ledge
on the RDC side that you
can downclimb through to
the canyon floor.
Travel down canyon from
here on the floor is a
mix of walking /
squeezing between narrow
walls on the canyon
floor and sections where
you will stem / galumph
up about 5 feet to
travel over portions
that are too tight to
stay on the floor. This
section is deep and
skinny.
About 1000 feet down
canyon is a tall wide
subway like chamber
(Brim46Chamber) about
200 feet long. After the
subway chamber the
canyon gets tight and
skinny again for a few
hundred feet where
travel is mostly along
the floor between skinny
walls and a few spots to
stem galumph over a few
feet up.
About 800 feet down
canyon is where a short
side slot comes down
from the RDC (west) rim
and the canyon widens
out (Brim47) into a
short open area.
Walk down canyon about
1000 feet to where the
narrow slot opens up to
a very wide sandy wash
(yBrimLowerBt) between
high slickrock walls.
The Exit:
When the
canyon opens up to wide
wash (yBrimLowerBt) walk
the sand for about 0.3
miles to where the
approach route went up
the sand hill (Brim40).
Continue about 700 feet
down canyon to the trees
on the left / LDC (east)
side (jROC-ViaBrim).
Note:
If you plan to do
ROC after Brimstone this
tree marks the spot to
scramble up the LDC side
behind the trees.
Walk about 0.39 miles
down canyon to where Lower
Brimstone meets
Dry Fork (jBrimstoneLwr).
Turn right and walk west
up Dry Fork and reverse the approach
route to go back to the
cars. Optionally
you can take a side trip
up Spooky Canyon then
down Peek-a-Boo Canyon
on the way back.
