*on a short rope here so it doesn't get tangled in the hydraulic. Brian is there to help me get safely into a stem position so I can work/traverse over the fall and out along the canyon walls. So I step onto the wall behind me with my feet and onto his shoulder with my hands and then he guides me for the stretch until I can shift my hands onto the wall. The are big gaping spaces between what we are each standing on. The guide is directing where stable footing is located. Then I come off the rope.
