Heaps canyon is a 4B R V rated slot canyon meaning it is technical, contains water, generally takes more than 1 day, and it will involve risks beyond the many risks already inherent in slot canyons. It can be beneficial to complete in one day, but our group took two, separating the days with a 3-hour rest. From start to finish, it took us 33 hours to complete. A few hours could've been saved had we worn thicker wetsuits - we stopped 4 times to build a fire and warm up. An hour was also wasted when we incorrectly thought we'd made it to the final climb. The group took off wetsuits, completely unpacked and repacked gear, and had a snack before discovering we still had a fairly significant amount of the Heaps narrows ahead of us. Completing the canyon in early June was extremely advantageous; the high water levels made many of the normally strenuous keeper potholes fairly reasonable to escape.
