37.590833333333, -111.23138888889If there is a better non-technical slot in Escalante, it would be tough to name. Egypt 3 is by far one of the most dramatic and narrow non-technical slots in the area. The canyon offers a seemingly endless supply of narrow slot, that gets narrower and narrower as you progress. A number of downclimbs and challenges along the way keep it interesting.

Egypt 3 itself can be done without ropes, but is often combined with Egypt 2, making the 'down 2 up 3' trip a technical loop between the two canyons.
Approach
Descent
Exit
If you parked at Egypt 2 (as the road is much rougher after 2), you can exit the canyon and head directly north but staying east of Egypt 2. There is a climb up to exit around 37.5807, -111.2397. It is on the west side of the drainage. It also looked like a climb on the east side was possible. Also, you can hike up Egypt 2 a bit and use the Egypt 2 exit.
