| partners | | Met up with Brian early to get a jump start on this canyon. Was worried that the beta in the book was wrong but found out it is fairly accurate, although the map needs a little work and the second rappel height is a bit off.
On the climb up I tried to follow the book route but Brian found the better way. I had to backtrack to reach the top. Once on top it was interesting as we disagreed over the best way (or even which way) to go, but we worked together and found what is likely the best route to approach Tango.
Once in Tango I was a bit worried since there was no anchor at the first possible rappel, however upon reaching the second drop I realized that we were indeed in the right place. The canyon is brushy but all in all an interesting place. It has some opportunities for improvement as one could easily add 4-6 rappels rather than all the bypasses. It was over all too soon.
After all the horrid triplogs and badmouthing this canyon has seen recently it felt good to add this one to the resume and to finish it with way too much sunlight left in the day. We didn't rush at all but I enjoyed the pace. A very quick party could perhaps halve our time. |
