Bolt Me Daddy Canyon, Nevada

For all the bolts that are placed, chopped, then placed again, and chopped — that is a dangerous game being played. What's amazing about bolts and hangers is that they do provide a fantastic margin of safety for rope access, rescue, and durable material. I highly recommend researching the art of bolting and why cavers have been using bolts inside of caves ever since cave exploration started.

It is illegal to place bolts AND to remove bolts in the Lake Mead National Recreational Area. Just leave the canyons alone and rig natural anchors — they are not difficult to do. The name Bolt Me Daddy is a nod to all the people that have bolted and removed bolts in the canyon.

The last few raps are in warm spring flowing water which made this canyon quite awesome and beautiful! You even have a rap where you drop into a pool of water with vines and the desert turns into a vegetated garden. Prepare for up to 10 raps and bring a few 200 ft ropes with you. Just have fun and bring webbing and Rapides.
