I had to postpone our MatKat canyoneering trip this extended holiday weekend do to this damn release.

Wow!

We were at the first rappel up near the ridgeline after just dropping into the beginnings of a canyon in Red Rocks outside of Las Vegas this last weekend and both of us got buzzed at least a few times by small yet fast birds. Good thing we had helmets and glasses on but after getting buzzed while on...

Been to one of these last year, would like to go to another but alas I'll be busy driving to the Grand Canyon for some more canyoneering using beta from Todd's book.

My group arrived at the Barnhardt TH early Sunday morning and saw two other vehicles but no pack...

Yea, sounds pretty crazy... But then again I've been floating the Colorado River in a $20 pool toy.

I say a temporary memorial would be fitting and appreciated by others.

That's kinna like Waterslide Canyon here in our own backyard...

Geez! It got toasted really good.

Sweet! Headed to Babo soon and thanks for the snow report.

Save the speckled-pumpkin Canyon tree frogs!!! What will they think of next...

And who in there right mind wants their local...

I heard they found them on Yellow Peak, could be wrong though...

That's crazy!!! The went in the middle of summer to avoid being tracked... Wouldn't that be wild if someone was still crazy enough to track them in the summer heat and shot them all?!?

@ Al_Hikes OMG, that's hilarious!

@ Al_Hikes

Hmm, for hiking I used to do EmergenCs but these days it's mostly Gu's/Power Gels and maybe a Powerade during or after the hike for recovery and loads of Vitamin D from the sun.

Upon further research, I don't think that Greenlee that my work rents out will work for this scenario since it's designed with two leads that you connect to the valves wires and then with the wand you walk the yard while doing your best to trace the wire by following the signal...

There must be someone on HAZ who works construction or contracting that might know more about this stuff. I work in the Irrigation Industry and we rent one for $50/day and we call them wire locators for finding valves wire & detecting breaks. I suppose I could borrow it on the weekends but I ne...

@Grasshopper Yea, looking at Joe's tracks and how he didn't seem to mind going off trail even when logic would say sticking to the trail longer would have been quicker, I think it's possible on his way back maybe tired and low on daylight he may have summited Peely again and was slowly working his ...
