My guess is, you won't get in the East side hike.
Try to make your trip a bit more casual and not a mad dash to notch your belt with as many canyons you can jam in to a 3 day trip.
Following this suggestion, might get you a future canyoneering partner. 3 days of death marches combined with long drives, will make you a bachelor canyoneer. Somewhere the idea is to have fun, making ones first indoctrination to canyoneering, long,painful,exhausting, scary is not something a potential, future partner should have to deal with.
If your idea is to scare your wife off from canyoneering and have a girlfriend lined up for future trips, your plan is solid.
If your trying to develop a competent partner who will share your enthusiasm, relax more.
Some of us have enjoyed taking wifes and daughters on canyon trips for many years, the rest are on CC. :lol8:
