The weather in Southern Utah has been really hot this Summer. It never seemed to break enough to be able to sneak in any canyons.
Finally, this Sunday, highs in the low 80's, perfect day in a great canyon.
Boss Hawg is just a fun canyon with amazing views. Not too serious; meat anchor the first two rappels, shimmy and stem, grunt and squirm and then do a few elevator downs
through a bunch of twisting, angled and tight narrows. The knobby walls make higher stemming easier than most.
Tested the friction climb out on the rib between Hog 1 and Hog 2. Easy climb for most but roped up the old man.
Food at Stans Burger Shack in Hanksville tastes better when you have just done a canyon.
Thanks to my canyoneering partners: Son Lorin, Grand Daughter Alijeh and Friend Jeremy - they all took amazing photos.
