Sketchy dead man anchor above...lots of friction. I'll bet it was less than a 5lb load with a slow body slide on an angled slope...

Nice TR Mark! I like Adobe Swale, a very nice canyon with some fun obstacles. Glad you guys made good decisions for your family in the beginning. Last time I did this canyon was in October as well and it was pretty cold without wetsuits, but we were with a small experienced group and were able to keep moving until we got to the end where we could sit and bake in the sun.
