The day after we went to Echo we hit Red Hollow. It turned out to be a really awesome trip. JJ had a brand new 300 foot rope, and so we went right down the middle instead of using the alternate options. It was the first long free-hang for everyone but Gavin, and all of us thought it was awesome! You always forget just how high 300 feet is until you're standing at the top looking down. :eek2: Anyway, we found the rest of the canyon to be pretty straightforward and a lot of fun. After the big rappel, our favorite part was probably the spot where we got to go down a little tiny hole for a downclimb. That being said, here are a few of JJ's pictures:

Looking over the edge...

For some reason, this one is crooked. It's still a cool view. Gives a bit of a feel for how freaking high it was.

That tiny speck way up there is Gavin fixing a knot in the pull cord

Unfortunately no, but we did use your beta, so we can't say you didn't tell us!

Did you guys see an arch in there at the bottom? Falcon guide says there is an arch and Bo and I have never seen it.

You probably ate at my restaurant instead. The Thunderbird! :haha:
