Absolute Gravity

In February I started a new job with a small company (40 people). The company is very social, and upon learning of my canyoneering adventures many were curious. I began sending out the trip reports Bob (@Slot Machine (http://www.bogley.com/forum/member.php?u=20293) ) was typing up to the company and soon had multiple coworkers asking about getting in on some canyon action.
We recently were placed into teams and so I sent out an invite to my team first, and then planned on sending to others in the company to fill out the Zion team. To my surprise everyone on my work team of five was in! This was now a team excursion and felt kind of special, and may have made the other teams a little jealous :fitz:. I wanted another experienced canyoneer to come along so I invited my buddy Tyler to help me keep everyone moving.

This would be Shaline, Marianne, and Jordan's first technical canyons so the first day would be the standard introduction, Keyhole, followed by Pine Creek. I think everyone was a little surprised at how much fun they were having. Plenty of water in Keyhole to break them into the cold water and get comfortable swimming around in stinky water.
Pine Creek was of course full of people. There were a few groups in front of us going quite slow so we had plenty of time to take pictures and goof off while waiting our turn to get on the next rappel. At the last rappel it looked like there were six groups bunched up, three in front of us, with @iflycr500 (http://www.bogley.com/forum/member.php?u=22054) 's group behind us and @2065toyota (http://www.bogley.com/forum/member.php?u=19869) 's behind them. We weren't in any hurry and it gave us some time to dry off, relax, and have a few laughs.
