Did a great Escalante route (Tanner -> Grandview) with a friend Gary Senula. We did it in 7 days with a rest day at Hance creek (day hike down Hance canyon). Was a good time , Gary knows the geology of the super group so it was nice to learn all about that.
He showed me fossilized worms , amazing stuff. Ran into a few guys having trouble locating the Papago wall, Gary taught them the way up and down the slide. The slide was a little sketchy as at one turn one has to hold onto a large rock and swing around it to get on the better route through the scree. Lots of mice at the river camps, one bit my finger in my sleeping bag ! Hope to go the little Colorado the next time ! There was water in Hance creek, didn't check out page spring on the way out, thought I saw some dark rock suggesting at least a seep is there.
