Mystery Canyon 2 November 2013
Having applied for three permits for Mystery over the weekend of the 2-4 November, hoping to get one, I ended up being successful in all three!
With paperwork grasped in grubby hand, Tae (occasional poster of this parish) and I drive up to the top to save the long hike up from Weeping Rock:

Harnesses on for the first rap:

A few snapshots of the canyon. Cheapo camera means poor-quality photos:

The lake at the rockfall was about ankle-deep, and the spring was majestic. The appearance of the Narrows at the end was a surprise, even though I knew it was coming!
Nothing more to do that hike to the shuttle bus, collect car from the trailhead and go to the Backcountry desk to cancel the other two permits!
