Sunday:Descended Crazy Jug. Fun canyon. We had some debate on trying to bypass a couple of pools in the narrows as none of us brought wetsuits. We decided to go for it. With some teamwork we didn't get too wet.
Fun canyon. We explored up Timp canyon a waze till we got to a big pretty waterfall. Camped at the muav ledges near the junction with Saddle Canyon.
Monday: Steamboat mountain. We had a bit of beta and it didn't sound too challenging so we didn't bring the harnesses but we did bring an 80 foot rope for a handline. We headed up Saddle a couple miles. The Muav narrows were amazing and we could not avoid getting wet. We eventually left saddle and climbed steeply up through the Supai. A couple challenges there but nothing too bad. The Coconino was mostly a steep walkup with a short scramble near the top. The next challenge was the cruz - the Toroweap. We had info from Harvey logs where there is an easy way though around the mountin - but we didn't want to go that far - so our plan was to figure out the chimney route. We knew it went but that's about it. WE tried a couple spots and finally decided on a spot to climb. It took a few of us to do the climb as it was pretty sketchy and loose. Felt like 5th class to me. We set a handline for the upper part. After the climb we decided to find another way down. We had one more climb in the Kaibab. It was a loose chimney. After that we found the summit and had a nice break.
On the way down we found a different way through the Toroweap. It was better but still fairly sketchy. Kinda wished I had a harness as I would have preferred to rap instead of handline.
Tuesday: Down Saddle to Tapeats. Hiked up Tapeats a waze without packs. Camped down Tapeats past the junction. The water was high and we did some team swiftwater crossings to stay safe
Wed: Out via Bill hall |
