On February 16h, 2016, Steph and I had a serious case of sore muscles. Hard Day Harvey beat us down the day before, so we opted for an easy day in West Shillelagh.
Steph finally got her hands on a pack that fits. Time for a test drive!

There are about a half dozen really fun downclimbs in this slot. A pleasant suprise.

Rap #1. From here the canyon looks 500 feet deep. Pretty awesome.

Rap #2, 50 feet from a pothole.

What do I see down canyon?!? Is that... a pile of dead cows??

This is how you get across the first cow obstacle. Walk directly on its spine. God knows what will happen if you put your foot elsewhere. The stench was so thick you could cut it with a knife.
Attachment 82828
This is how you get across the second cow obstacle. Don't step on its head, out of respect for the dead.

We laughed much and gagged a little on the way back to the car. Who knew this would be such a memorable day in the North Wash?
