Death Valley Natl. Pk. A Black Mtns and Canyons Traverse Nov 30, 2021 - John Morrow - 2021-12-16 Here's the map. Black Mtns Blue Trav by John Morrow, on Flickr Up canyon not difficult.  Traverse Class 2.  Downcanyon narrowed into dryfalls, one of which was close to technical requiring a Class 5 downclimb.  I believe relatively easy bypasses are present if one starts from bottom or has more time to search when descending. It was getting late.
