The annual pissing contest.

My best year ever. First serious year for me. More canyons in 2008 than all previous years combined. I know most of you beat this but I'm exited. Hope to beat it next year.

My list is very short this year; in fact getting shorter every year since I've gotten back into bouldering. A few repeats (Death Hollow for the 6th time, Alcatraz for the fourth) but I had fun with some new ones:

Paradisio
Limbo
Purgatory
Potty Mouth
Sinusitus/Snot Nose
Alcatraz
Lost Park
Death Hollow ( :rockon: )

48 canyons in three states. It was a pretty good year; even better when I throw in climbing days, scouting days and river trips!

This year sucked...worst year ever. Only four canyons (shoulda been at least double that, but luck worked against me).

1. Arscenic
2. Spry
3. Gravel
4. Neon

This year wasn't great for me either. I only got nine of them. All my tech canyons can be found below if you sort through the mess:

Not a big number, but a good year for me. Some real bright spots. What a great year.
Just as excited about 2009! Freeze Fest is a great way to start a year!

I have some ideas but I think it's time to write down my goals for the New Year...

Successfully avoided Mystery (aka miserable) Canyon four times in 2008! :five:

My biggest accomplishment was to take my kids through Pine Creek. Also, we introduced five people to canyoneering in 2008. :2thumbs:

I can't wait to see what 2009 has to offer. :popcorn:

I had been obsessed with canyons the last couple years, this year I kept my big canyoneering trips to spring and fall with only a few shortee's in the summer and winter. Played in the mountains more this year and will probably do the same in years to come (Monsoon season canyoneering is no beuno). Planning on getting more into mountaineering and climbing this summer but I'm sure I'll still get plenty of canyons in. I still got in quite a few in 2008 so I can't say I laid off too much. My list:

Styx
Darwin
Limbo
Purgatory
Paradiso (twice)
Inferno (twice)
Devils Thumb
The first section of Good Day Jim followed by bailing and hiking the lower portion of Seven Mile.
Neon
Pandora's Box
Das Boot/Subway
Keyhole
Pine Creek
Psycho Damage
Wordsmith
Pothoez
Inquisition
X-Communication
Blastphemey
Music Temple
Happy Dog
Baboon Smiles
Lost Park
Low Spur
Smallcatraz
East Water
Chambers
Lil Bull
East Bluejohn
Main Bluejohn
Headless Hen
Raven
East Scorpion
Clear Creek
Big Tony
Lower PINTAC
Most of Frosted Flakes
Angel
West Blarney
Shenanigans
Morocco

Got in quite a few new ones as well as some old favorites. Ghosted my first canyon (well Tom ghosted it, I mostly just watched) I've STILL yet to do a canyon in the Swell. I guess that should be a goal for spring of 2009!

I think we should. Squeeze, Cable, Quandry, Zero G, haven't done any of them. Pathetic isn't it? :haha:

Oh yeah.... after a day of canyoneering nothing beats cocktails around the pool followed by a nice restaurant and a good nights sleep in an air conditioned room sandwiched between clean sheets... :2thumbs:

New to hiking canyons with rope, Jody and myself accomplished more than we ever thought we would. After our first Keyhole we became very addicted. Thanks to Tom and ZAC for helping us get our feet wet.(and also giving us another chance to come back after Jodys food poisoning adventure.)

Our rookie list and my best summer yet:

Keyhole x4
Middle Echo
Pine Creek
Boundry > middle Kolob > out the narrows
Spry x2
Water Canyon
Das Boot > Subway x2
Orderville
Benson Creek
Mystery

Let me know which canyons, and when you want to hook up. Would be glad to join you heading through some of them...

:roflol:

The girlfriend joined me for some of the trips. Check her out styling while pushing her way through the log soup in Black Hole:

or read about the fun:

Hope to hook up with you again for some canyons soon Dan; it's been a long time... Looking forward to hearing your Alaska tales (over a Colorado beer, of course...)

Later,

It's not blurry; but it is 50 paces. The point was that she was pushing her way through log soup, and still smiling. :)

Here's a couple shots at 30 paces for you...
