| no partners | | Conned a friend into playing hooky with me since I've been off all week enjoying time between jobs. I wanted to do a recon mission of this canyon to see what it's like. I discovered a very beautiful canyon!
We met at Hairpin at 5 AM. We left one car there and then drove up to Prison Camp. The campground was closed which means we had a bit more walking to do...
We dropped into the canyon early to ensure we didn't miss much.
We ended up doing 5 rappels in which I used natural features to build all the anchors. A couple rappels we had to work really hard to avoid all the wasps that were around. On one rappel the rope got stuck in a crack so I had to use my microtraction and VT Prusik to get up high enough on the rope to fix the issue. We did pretty good with teamwork and learned a bit from each other.
I had a lunch date at 11:30 and I was only about 15 minutes late! |
