Photos-Gem Canyon, Enigma Canyon, and Poncho Wash

[Scott P]

Since I already had photos of both Gem and Enigma from previous trips, I didn't take too many, but here they are. I hope you enjoy them.

That last rap out of Poncho looks cool.

nice TR. I have a question about the anchors. The anchor in your TR that looks like a pile of rocks, is that all it is, or are the rocks wedged in with rocks piled to keep it wedged?

It was basicially just a pile of rocks, but the bottom rock (which was already in place) was wedged against a cornder of the wall. We just piled more rocks on top of it to make a solid anchor.

It WAS a fun rap. The rest of the canyon was pretty, but kind of ho-hum though. Have to be careful on the pull too. A few twists and lots of possible friction...
