String of Pearls Canyon is in Red Rock NCA just outside Las Vegas, between Mud Spring and Old Bill canyons. Named for rapid-fire potholes before the big drops. Rated 3BIV, some rate 4BIV for natural anchor challenges. Upper drops under 100ft, then the canyon opens to tiered raps up to 200ft. First big drop ~150ft to a platform, then 200ft to a ledge. Final tier: 100ft, 170ft, 70ft, 50ft. Car to car 10 hours, 100F. Reminded me of Spry Canyon in Zion but with more pothole plunges.
