| no partners | | I finally made it to Zion National Park. Katie and I had a relatively busy two days with Led by Sheep Saturday morning and some sight seeing the rest of the day. On Sunday we completed the Subway Route from the top down.
We really enjoyed Led by Sheep. The climbing was as advertised, easy, but run out. Ten alpine slings and two 60m ropes is all you need. The approach to the base in the morning was about as tranquil and perfect as you can get, to include a nice viewing of several bighorns making their way about the slab. We started with headlamps and were roping up to a rising sun.
I snagged the first pitch and then Katie and I swapped until we reached the summit. We took a quick break on the summit and then began our descent via rap. The heat did not take long to kick in, so we were happy to finish the four rap descent rather efficiently and without any real snags.
On our return to the car, we stopped at the petroglyphs, which were impressive, with some unique to us etchings.
A perfect first hike in Zion. |
