12/12/12 - Yankee / Boltergiest
This weekend was originally planned as:
Saturday - Englestead
Sunday - Lower Refrig
Monday - Mystery
Now its:
Saturday - Yankee/Boltergiest
Sunday - Work on my house
Monday - Prob just go to work
With a multitude of problems of flu's, colds, vehicle issues, and other stuff it just all fell apart. No big deal though, I don't think they are going anywhere.
Didn't want it to be a total bust so Me, my son Kyler, his friend Braden, his Dad Jed, and my neighbor Brian headed up the hill. We hit snowpacked and/or muddy roads immediately out of silver reef as expected. There was actually less snow in the canyons than I had expected, only about 2" at its deepest spot. Towards the end of Yankee I noticed a bolt had been pulled at one of the downclimbs, didn't really notice if they all had been before that one, or just the one. Most of the slots can be stemmed, but all the pools are full so plan on getting about knee wet.
Boltergiest was good, no real issues except if you fall in the water :haha: in the last slot it's waist deep. 3 of them did, the walls have slick mud and moss on it. Cleaned up the webbing on the last rap, there was 4 different pieces of webbing and 4 quicklinks ?
There are alwasy a lot of droppings towards the end of Boltergiest and I always assumed there were deer hanging out there. It is some wild domestic goats. We finally seen them and I took a pic, but it's not a very good one
