10/22/12 - Great White Icicle

[jman]

This is a older TR, seeing as this is November, but we were privileged to have Utah Filmmaker Trevor Parker accompany us on our 4th annual Great White Icicle descent.

We had a party of 10, and we hauled up a 420 ft rope up with us too so we combined 3 rappels into 1. So the entire route turned into 3 rappels instead of 5 or 6.

It took us about 4hours with 10 from car to car.

Enjoy the GREAT video edit by Trevor.

Great Video! Props to Trevor!

Nice. A few more weeks and we'll hopefully be going up that thing...

Very nice.

Nice! That is a great route... but, 420 feet of rope? Fun to pull down I'm sure. :lol8:

[jman]

Thanks guys!

The rope pull was actually very easy. The granite gorge is very open so snags or weight of the rope aren't a issue. But if they were...a handled ascender to pull it down makes it 10x easier.

Sweet video! It's unusual to see your friend Jeff not at the end of a trecking pole. :haha: Now I have to go and check out the description for this one. Looks fun!

Thanks Clif! Lol, true!

Well don't worry, I will be posted 3 vids of him through all 3 forks of the Leprechauns sometime tomorrow for your viewing pleasure. :haha:

Awesome! I have seen Jeff's stuff and it's great! If you guys want some more company, I've got some gear and experience. I just need more people in the northern Utah area to adventure with, hit me up! Good TR! :mrgreen:
