I just got back from my first trip to North Wash, I ended up doing the east fork of leprechaun, Blarney and Lucky Charms. Thanks to those who gave me advice, I was able to go with a little more confidence and really enjoyed the canyons.
The canyons were completely dry and all of the anchors set up and pretty straightforward. It was really windy, especially on Tuesday when we were sand blasted in Leprechaun, but it was kind of interesting seeing and feeling how the wind can take part in sculpting the canyons.
Here are some pictures

They weren't red at first, it wasn't obvious as a link, someone changed it for me.
I've missed a few links on this site myself. |

From an earlier thread he wrote
Quote: My main concern is how skinny the slots get, I'm not very big but my canyon partner is slightly larger than average.
I assume that means he is the skinny bearded one. |

Nice! Glad you guys had a good time.
So what did you think about the canyons? How did you like Lucky Charms? (That one seemed to have the most diverse recommendations on the pre-trip conversations...)
Take care,
A.J. |

| I think Lucky Charms is pretty, it has some great color, that's why I betaed it to begin with....... but It's certainly not a "Destination Canyon" by any stretch of the imagination. |

I definitely agree with Shane, that I wouldn't plan a trip just to do Lucky Charms, but I don't agree that it sucks. It's a good intro canyon for sure. It's pretty, it has some tight spots, or alternatively some high spots that are pretty easy stems. It has some fun upclimbs that aren't too difficult, an optional 200' rappel, and some fun downclimbs on the other side; and it all comes in a short package. Could definitely serve as a "check out the skills" canyon; and still tack on more stuff afterwards based on the results...
Personally, I really like that first big upclimb too; very fun chimney work... |
