August 25-26 UUTAH Trip

There has been mention of a possible trip for the weekend of the 25/26 of August. The plan right now is the Squeeze on Saturday, and Quandary/Knotted Rope on Sunday. Camp will be at Hidden Splendor, I suppose.

EDIT: This list will be updated as new people join or leave...

Possible Participants:
Group 1:
CarpeyBiggs
Chris Raver
Porter Rickabaugh
Alusul?
mrbrejcha?
mrbrejcha's friend #1?
mrbrejcha's friend #2?

Group 2:
RockGremlin
Kyrell
Faye from Moab
John from Moab
Dan from the Monti

I'll only be able to go through Zion as well.

Wish I could make another what I am sure will be a fun and exciting trip, but we have a family reunion that weekend...

Why does family always have to get in the way of fun?

Ya, me too. I prefer the Swell too I'd be down with any combo of the following:

Squeeze
Iron Wash
Quandary
Music
Knotted Rope

I vote for the Swell. All of you Zion snobs need to expand your horizons, especially you Christian...it's time to bring the Alpha male to the San Rafael.

The Squeeze Saturday, down Quandry/up Knotted Rope Sunday could be fun. They'd both be full days but worth it. If we went up Knotted Rope we could use our mad climbing skills!

My only issue with the Swell is that all the guidebooks seem leave out the best parts... :roflol: :roflol:

Okay, looks like we might be able to make a Squeeze/Quandary combo play for this weekend... We can set up camp at the Splendor that is Hidden.

So far I've got:

Everyone interested in the next uUtah canyon social please raise your right hand...

My wife didn't know what to think when you guys had those outfits on Sat. nite. She'll be sorry she missed you dancing in front of Pizza and Noodle.

Woa there cowboys. I never said I wouldn't come up to the evil part of Utah. Man I got all sorts of people saying all sorts of things. I figure you bitches came to my part of the world so why can't I come up to yours?

Here's the deal and the rules:
1 - I won't be able to leave Vegas till 4:00 friday. So you'd better choose something as close as possible.
2- no tight stuff, I like my belly just as it is and I sure the hell don't want to be scraping no hair or fat off.
3 - Cody is like a 80% on coming.
4 - I'm not interested in hiking all over the damn place on no damn death marches. So try to choose something that will leave me with enough energy to push the gas pedal home Sunday night.

Other than that I leave myslef in your hands. We can't let Dan plan this thing or he'll try to kill me (you know since I successfuly debunked all of his arguments). Who's in charge? Oh I forgot rule 5 - when I arrive whoever planned this thing must relinquish the role of Alpha to the one, true, Alpha Male.

The squeeze has a 2-3 hour approach, and 2 hour exit, maybe 5 hrs in the canyon. Mostly flat except one big climb. Can you handle that?

I think the drive is about 6 hours from Vegas, depending on how fast you like to rally the truck over the desert dirt roads.

Ummm my guess is that that "one big climb" will be considered a death march if you did the route I did. Bottom up and into the canyon and out the bottom to the car. There ain't no switchbacks on the "up" part. :nod:

Man, I don't want to remain a Swell Virgin again this year...

It is her family reunion, mayhaps I could sneak away if you can grab an extra permit for me...

...oh wait we're not in Zion anymore.

I've never heard so much whining. :bore: I guess we could airlift you to the top...kinda expensive. Or you could hire some sherpas...that would require a way to transport livestock though...but I don't think Llamas are all that unruly? I'm just trying to think of some possible solutions for you.:haha:

Seriously dude, you'll live. Neither of the canyons are all that tight. The approach to the Squeeze is a bit of a pain but you get all of the elevation gain out of the way first...and in the morning hours. The exit is along the Muddy...heel to toe type stuff. Quandry's approach is quick and easy too. Elevation is at the start but doesn't take more than 20 to 30 minutes...tops. Exit is the same as the Squeeze...back down the Muddy. Both canyons should have quite a bit of water in them as well and, if we're lucky, we might just get flashed on!

I expect there will be some dropouts and what not, so if people are still interested, let them put in their name, and we will sort it out as the date gets more near. We could always do two groups, and do different canyons each day, if we needed to.

Edit: Didn't realize Rock had edited the other list... I will now relinquish all power to the TRUE alpha.

I'm going to have two friends with me.

Also, I'll be in the desert starting on the 20th so if anybody wants to meet up early. . . . .

Definitely be down for some swell action, my starting place for canyons and still favorite area of utah overall.

Turnin out to be a regular uUtah Canyon fest!!

Party on Wayne!! :rockon:

ok, looks like i might be able to make this one.

for as much fun as it looked like you "guys" were having in Zion, i had my hands full w/ Vegas strippers, and they can be awfully hard to top.

Well it sucks to have to say it but count me out. Can't make it up there then, but hope you guys have a great time. Wish I could make it :cry1:

Too bad Chris, it'll be fun. Happy birthday, by the way.

Thanks a lot! Im sure it will be great fun. Hopefully next time I will be able to make it. Be safe!

I'd like to be in on this trip too if there is room.

Are you the "MySpace Adam?" If so, you can only come if you agree to bring a hottie along with you.

If you're not the "MySpace Adam," please disregard that last retarded comment.

That be me :) I will just post some of those pictures of you on my myspace telling the girls they will get to go see you do a canyon like that and the hotties will flock. lol

And if I tell them Dan is coming they will be all over it too. I have been braggin about your photography skillz to the ladies.

OK, I just updated the guest list. So far, there are 15 people signed up. This is looking like a SWELL partay! We'll need to divide the group up into either two or three smaller groups, or just stagger the canyons so that half the group does Quandary/Knotted Rope the first day, the other half does the Squeeze and vice versa.

I'll volunteer to bring along some homemade avocado salsa, if someone else brings chips.

Looks like a killer trip!

Have fun guys.... I'm going to have to miss this trip.

I coach Little League Football (Offensive Coordinator) and our first game is that week.

Call in sick...

No way.... I love teaching little kids to pound the snot out of other little kids.... :haha:

I am n00b and don't know my way around the Swell all that well yet. Anyone coming from the Salt Lake County or Utah County areas want to hook up and carpool? I'll drive if you know exactly where we are going. lol.

p.s. if you are serious about me bringin a chic let me know, I've have a couple beggin to come with me on some sort of outdoor adventure.

Looked at the list and realized that there are way too many people coming. Even looks like a chic or two. I think there needs to be a general warning as the the topics to be expected when doing canyons with the Alpha. Now we all know Cody will be there and when the two of us are together all topics go.

Are the dirt roads mandatory? Maybe I can bring the car up and save on gas?

Are you guys trying to kill me? How do the hikes compare to the zion stuff? What can i expect? Do i need to start shooting the juice now in order to get ready? FYI - I'm bringing my own sexy underwear this time.

Adam - Yes, bring along one of the hot babes from your entourage (or two!) Make sure they're aware of the dress code (or undress code :naughty: )


Nelson - Lots of dirt roads to get to where we're going, but the good news is that the dirt roads are all very well graded and maintained. Bring you and your banter - if someone doesn't like you, they can always hike in the other group -- since the party list is so large, I think we'll divide and conquer. (Day one = Group A does the Squeeze, group B does the Quandary loop, Day two = vice versa)

uhmmm dude... leave the myspace chicks at home!

lemme throw some wisdom down on you!
never bring a girl on a trip w/ a bunch of dudes.
save those trips for when you go solo.
find a nice easy canyon, do it a few times, then take said girl and be her hero! much better for her experience, for your experience and the experience of your canyon brothers who may not want to deal w/ unknown myspace canyon noob.

furthermore, if MY wife finds out she couldnt go on a trip and some random girl did go.... well that my friend makes things difficult for me.
and i dont like things being difficult for me, see where this is going? :lol8:

but now there is the "lap dance" clause.
if said girl will preform group lap dances for your canyon brethern, her presence would not only be welcomed but would be mandatory!

actually now that i think about it, any girl that would follow a bunch of dudes through a canyon and then preform said lap dances might be one hell of a catch. :naughty:

I think Marc is preaching to the wrong choir. If you want lapdances, you should be talking to Nelson, who hails from lap dance land!

Alright then, I personally agree with marc that a totally newb girl would be a downer as far as the trip goes, which is why I asked again if you were serious about me bringing a girl. But one of the girlys is quite outdoors inclined (rock climbs, hikes, etc) if she wants to come I will bring her. If not, I will leave the girlys out.
