What a killer canyon. And that can be taken either way - surely not a canyon you go into ill-prepared.

To avoid sticking your rope on the last rappel, make sure the last person down moves the pull strand out of the groove on the right next to the dihedral wall. There are some notches to the left that will hold the rope and allow your biner block to pass by without getting stuck. The groove on the right is simply too narrow for most biners to fit through.

Thanks for the tech tip... but me thinks this ain't the time or the place for that.
Cheers

We did Imlay Last year. Heaps is on the list this August. Nice Video.

Your video is great; it really capture the beauty of the canyon. I've descended Heaps three times. Each time it even more amazing. In September 2004 I did it without a wetsuit and caught a bit of hypothermia. Also, our rope got stuck on the 90M rappel so I had to use two prussik knots to shimmy back up and unstick it. It took about a half hour to get back to the top.

No westsuit? What were you thinking?
I'm sure that prussik back up the final rap was 'fun'... better you then me.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Heaps is an amazing place.
