After parking along Badwater Road, we headed to the mouth of Coffin Canyon, visible left of center.

A social trail leads up to the ridge on the right of the canyon's mouth. A Class 3 section pops in shortly after starting the ridge.

Looking back as we ascend the ridge.

Some loose rock on the way up.

And then the ridge becomes easier. Coffin Canyon visible below on the left.

Looking back as we near the high point of the ridge before we start our descent into the canyon.
