5 of us did the canyon this time. The water levels were absolutely perfect! The technical part of the canyon and specifically the big pool was absolutely freezing even in a 5 mm wetsuit!

We decided to bushwhack instead of continuing the canyon hop. That probably slowed us down a bunch. It also added some misery to my week. I ended up with "Velcro" plant on my pants and it was scratching me through my pants. I have such bad allergies that soon I had many big round welts the size half dollars on my thighs. On trail, I choose to take off my pants and hike in the dark from the saddle near Sycamore Dam. I just couldn't take it any more.

Saw a guy doing the canyon by himself. Not something I'd recommend but he obviously managed just fine.
