Constrychnine & Zero Gravity
Hit both of these canyons at different times last month.
Constrychnine was a lot of fun. Big rappels, water, deep narrows and stemming. We were fortunate to have cloud cover for most of the day. It would've been miserably hot if we hadn't. The 190 foot rap was very cool as was the drop into the "chamber". All in all, it took us about 5 hours from trailhead to trailhead. Beautiful canyon!
Zero G, as everyone knows, is a short and sweet romp through tight narrows and deep potholes. I'd been wanting to do it for awhile now and I can finally add it to the completed list. The bombay exit proved to be a challenge for me. I'm not a skinny little freak like some of you so I had to go high and my hips still got stuck. We ended up rigging a "horizontal rappel" (which is the only thing I can think to call it) to allow for a safe drop out of the bombay. It was much easier than it looked and once I was down, I didn't know why I stressed about it. The water was also welcomed as it was blisteringly hot down there that day.
I'm light on pictures, especially of the Zero G trip but we threw together a video which is linked below. Check it out if you're bored.
