Going up a narrow ridge, the rock gave, and I found myself sliding on my belly, feet first, down toward a small cliff, and everything I grabbed broke off. Eventually I stopped sliding and fortunately had a companion who managed to give me enough of my hand that I could get out without sliding the rest of the way.Here's the canyon mouth distance comparison for you.
Geez, Geek, that's super scary! So far I've never been out control above a drop off like that and hopefully never will.
What do you estimate the mileage from 190 to the mouth of No Name to be?
I'm no good a estimating distances so here's a comparison from 190 and from Salt Creek. BTW I discovered that No Name Canyon actually has two mouths, one draining towards Salt Creek and the other towards 190 but they converge up stream a quarter to half a mile into the only drainage. I put the comparison to the single upstream mouth.
Little Bridge is worth a re-visit. I took an unconventional return route from the end saddle back down the northeast ridge line.
