Chose "Triplog" b/c the category should cover all aspects? including pics?

Dropped off at 9:30am at Kelly Canyon Rd exit off I-17, S of Flag. Brought 2L of water, a small bag of trailmix, and three small fruits (plums/pears). After viewing a description by joe bartels, I memorized the map and general idea, with goal of following Pumphouse lower and coming out on 89A.

No ropes, and stayed out of the water until I was so hot at the end I needed a cool down. That meant lots of climbing around canyons instead of rappelling or wading.

Ran out of (2L) water w/ 1hr remaining while in the Pumphouse Lower section.
