TR HogI aka Boss Hawg
I like doing this canyon with lots of body armor AND when it is cooler out - I don’t like to leave skin on the walls nor have a sweat fest wrapped in
protective gear. This is a Butt Pad canyon meant for coolers temperatures. It was a nice day in the North Wash area.
Hog I has lots of stemming, slip sliding, shimmying and squeezing. I do think most people could traverse this canyon down in the cracks but stemming
higher up the walls through the tighter sections is so much more fun. There are smaller, almost imperceptive ledges up high that really help with the
stemming.
We climbed the traditional exit crack back to our vehicle on top of the Hog plateau That view from up there is extraordinary!
Our Hog team consisted of me, my daughter Andrea(who has let her marriage get in the way of canyoneering), son Lorin and Charlie and Terresa. It was a
great team. The day went by way too quick.
