Already some time ago, still I'm gonna write a little trip report...
On the 22nd of May, I was to meet Michael_WB at ZAC in Springdale, where we were gonna spend 9 days of canyoneering. I had already spend some time in the States, he just arrived from Switserland. When I arrived at ZAC, he had met Scott, who was one of his his canyoneering instructors the year before. He was gonna do Pine Creek with Jonathan and Kim. We decided to go together.
It was my 2nd time in Pine Creek, and it was as beautiful as the first time. I like the entrance below the bridge, up to the first rappel. Getting down into the canyon. A friendly canyon in my opinion, some nice variations, the cathedral area is beautiful and getting towards the end, things get more spectacular, and then those lovely last rappels... In between the canyon keeps entertaining me in its appearance. And, as a bonus, that fantastic smell of the dead deer.
Below some pictures of this great canyon, the great company we had, a great trip it was.
