Bluejohn Canyon March 2003

A few photos of me and my son in Bluejohn Canyon, March 2003. One month before Aron Ralston cut is arm off in the canyon, making the place world famous.

I love the pic with your boy on your shoulders.

He probably hiked most of the way...right? j/k :haha:

What route did you take in and out of there?

What route did you take in and out of there?

This time, we came in the non-technical route south of the West Fork. The rest of the group climbed all the way up the Main Fork, but my wife and I went out the way we came in since we had our kid with us.

I used to have these photos posted online, but after Aron cut his arm off, I removed them because some newspaper contacted me about a story on how I took my kid through Bluejohn Canyon. I didn't think it would go over well with the arm amputation publicity, so I declined and removed the photos.

At the time of Ralston's accident I had a short video of Bluejohn Canyon on my website. NBC paid me $500 for the use of the video, portions of which they played one night on their national news broadcast.
