Went thru Keyhole and Pine Creek on Wednesday. They are full of COLD water.More swimming in Pine Creek then I had ever done. Rented Dry Suits from Zion Adventure and were glad we did. Great weather and a great day.

Looks like a lot of fun!! Thanks for the photos
Was keyhole flowing?
No
Did you get done with Pine Creek around, say, 3:15 or so? Spent the day up at Little Jenny Peak above Gifford Canyon, came down the switchbacks and saw a group that looked like they were finishing up Pine Creek at the second switchback. If it was you, gave you a quick thumbs up in approval :2thumbs:
That was us.
Do you think keyhole specifically could have been done without any suits?
I won't be going till around Apr 20 now, so time to warm up the water in both.

Looks like a great day! :cool2:
Thanks for the recommendations on the wetsuits. It has been so long since I have done Keyhole and it seemed so short, I wasn't really on planning on them. I forgot about the possiblity of renting them. It was so hot here in SLC, I think I was confused into thinking it was summer. :haha:
I am hoping to take 3 noobs through this weekend.
Guess I've had some luck. Both times I went through, last in July 2010, I barely even got my shoes wet.
We (me, 12yo boy, 10yo girl) went through Keyhole yesterday. It was wet and cold. I was just fine in a wetsuit, but the kids were cold in wetsuits. It also took us a little longer because I was lowering the kids at each rappel and teaching downclimbing. I did not remember there being 4 or 5 rappels in keyhole. :roll: It was my first time back in a canyon in quite a while, so I had a great time. The kids.... it depended on when you asked. :cold:
Hopefully I can get this to jump-start me and I can start doing the adult canyons again.
Awesome! Good to see you getting back out, Jason. :2thumbs:

My buddy Tad just sent me his pictures I thought I would post a couple.
