My partner, Jasper, and I are looking for one or two partners for Imlay Sneak
and Kolob. I have a permit for 4 persons for Thursday August 9 through Friday
August 10. We plan an Alpine start for Thursday with the intention of exiting
the same day. We would also like to do Kolob exit via MIA on Saturday August 11
assuming the stars, the weather, the water district, and ranger spirits align
and we are not throughly trashed from Imlay. Jasper and I have been
canyoneering together for the past 4 years. Jasper is 6'3" and can be pressed
to lead 5.10. I am not nearly as strong a climber but did rock and alpine climb
in the past. I have also done a number of technical canyoneering courses.
Together we have done pine creek and mystery in ice cold conditions, spry,
orderville, behunin, right fork, das boot, boundry out the narrows in a day, quandry direct, the squeeze, neon,
ringtail, and choprock. I have several trip reports up on Bogley.com under
spinesnaper. We are looking for potential partners with at least the same or
greater level of experience. A prior trip through the Imlay sneak is definitely
a plus. Please email if you are interested.

Thanks

No I was unable to find your DSLR.

I actually bailed on this trip. About a week before departure, my partner called me up. He was putting a roof on his house and injured himself. His drill bucked pulling his hand with it. The bad news was that he broke a bone in his right hand. The good news is that he does not need surgery. We are hoping he will recover for an October trip down Imlay. We will see. I did a self rescue day with a guide in Mammoth Lakes (Zeke Federman) and hiked Clouds Rest in Yosemite. So no conditions update. Sorry guys.
