[edit] Canyoneering
Starting from Tenaya Lake, there are three short rappels, newly bolted by the ASCA in 2003, along with at one mandatory swim at normal water levels. This canyoneering adventure is not appropriate for those without previous experience and competence with rappelling and canyon navigation. Competent climbers can often skip one or two of the rappels by downclimbing.
