This just needs some simple cleanup for PoV and context. —BenFrantzDale 13:40, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
- I modified this file yesterday (06 Oct), to rectify factual inaccuracies. As it was written, it asserted: 1) no creek flows down Tenaya Canyon (but Tenaya Creek does); and 2) that no one hikes it since there's no water flow into the Canyon (the real reason is that one must rappel to descend, or climb [it'd be 5th class, so ropes required] to ascend). Also, the picture's POV is looking up the canyon, which I inserted today (07 Oct). I did not write the initial article, which was certainly a good candidate for NPOV dispute, but I think, in its current form, it's fine. If you agree, please say so here, so the NPOV dispute can be removed. —User:BrianWelsch 17:44 UT, 07 Oct 2005
- Much improved. It could do with context, though "Tenaya Canyon is the extension of Yosemitee valley continuing to the East..."—something like that. Also, the PoV is still geared toward climbing rather than answering "what is Tenaya Canyon". I changed the POV to {{cleanup}}. —BenFrantzDale 19:10, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
Randomly strolling onto this page, it still contains many factual errors. There are not "many" people that have died on the downclimbs. In fact, there may be none. There have been hikers that have gotten lost when hiking in the area around Tenaya Lake and wandered down the canyon, but few if any deaths have been reported. Also, it is not so difficult to navigate up the canyon and is not fifth class unless you are off-route. It is third class by the usual route. -Bob Burd
- Good to see you here, Bob: I've visited your excellent web site. Feel free to correct factual errors in the article, yourself. Anyone can edit! hike395 04:39, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
I just wandered here and also thought the insistance on equipment etc. was overstated. In September or October 1970, when I was 15, I walked down to the valley from Tenaya Lake with a small party of climbers. The creek was nearly empty except for a few pools, we used no ropes, and at no point do I remember it being more difficult than a scramble (and one leap over some slimy granite). There was exposure in one or two places. Some geography and geology would be nice. Eperotao 00:00, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Canyoneering
editI removed the section on canyoneering. It was uncited and was un-encyclopedic in tone. If someone can cite the claims made and re-write it, please add it back in the article. -Barkeep 06:05, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
