Overview

If there is a better non-technical slot in Escalante, it would be tough to name. Egypt 3 is by far one of the most dramatic and narrow non-technical slots in the area. The canyon offers a seemingly endless supply of narrow slot, that gets narrower and narrower as you progress. A number of downclimbs and challenges along the way keep it interesting. Very short slot canyon. Near Escalante, Utah. This is a very short slot canyon but it is well worth a 10-minute stop. Land Manager: BLM Utah.

Narrow slots not exciting enough? Need to get a rappel in to REALLY feel like your canyoneering? After the non-technical exit, technical canyoneers can continue down canyon a short distance to a final technical section of slot with 1 rappel. Surprisingly, for such a short slot, it is quite pretty and well sculpted. Even though it is a bit of work to carry a rope through Egypt 3 for a short optional section, I would highly recommend it to technical canyoneers.

Warning: At 6'2' / 185 lbs and probably about a 40 inch chest, there were several sections I had to wiggle and squeeze to fit through. Overly big boned canyoneers, or those with claustrophobia should find a different adventure. The tightest spots come just before the first exit, you have been warned!
