From google earth i scouted out a large overhang that looked fairly suspicious. I walked the canyon then saw the overhang. I got to a high place and sure enough i saw a large square hole in the dirt. I scrambled back down, then the climb got difficult. There was no way up the straight up and down rock surface either but i did find a log jammed behind a tree. So i climbed to the top using the log which was creepy enough. Getting down was much,MUCH worse.
(40-50 feet STRAIGHT up)

cool. What is it? Glad you made it out alive. On the positive side you didn't have to use ropes and incriminate yourself on Bogley again. :roflol:

I would've brought a ladder if it weren't for that dang law. I would've been a bit less scared. Especially because my tallest ladder wouldn't be tall enough.
