This one was great! Memory was way off... just a nice little cut, and you can exit directly into leah's Lair to enjoy that bit of adventure! Mary, Luster, Ross...

Out Scouting a new descent route off the top of Marble Bluffs... to allow for faster access to Redstone Canyon on next Saturday group hike. We got lucky... great route along the cliff base, from the west cleft and around to Quarry Canyon. Amazing fossil array to compliment the hike along the way. Indian Wells. Old Quarry Canyon shack foundation. Good.

I'd been up this one years ago... but it was on a bad day for my Acraphobia... I turned around too soon... did not really check it out fully. Today: Fully!

Up... to the top... and then some.

The lower and middle sections are delightful; turn around in time and have a nice day. the Upper section... well, that was another story. Lots of blood donated!

I looped around back down some of the north cliffs on my way home... may have found a possible Spur route that would allow an early exit up to "A" trail... that would be nice!

Slow going... hyper steep... great training day.

I hit the library... tried for a slideshow presentation: if these work I will not have to upload so many pics!
