I've got a trip planned through Echo in a few weeks and I just figured out that I'll be doing that trip to/from the Stave Springs TH because of the closure at Weeping Rock.
This trip looks to include at least one newbie. I wanted ask for collective wisdom about the upper part. We'll pass right by the entrance to the upper part and my inclination would be to drop in there. But I haven't done it and I'm a little concerned about the "spicier downclimbs" (paraphrasing from Tom's beta) in that section. I hate to throw something too challenging to someone just getting a taste of canyoneering in their very first few obstacles.
Obviously we can belay her, meat anchor a rap, handline, etc. But, I was just curious what y'all think about those downclimbs.
Gonna try to avoid breaking bones and murdering reptiles if possible :naughty:
