Since I posted the info on Canyon Collective about 3 of the canyons noted on this thread, I'll give a little background. It was not my original idea to do this but I did support it. I have not been...

Nice picture.

You are going to lengths to figure this out it appears. I am not WalkingMan. Part of me wishes I could claim being WalkingMan, but unfortunately I am not. The IP address posted is...

Here's a quick and handy reference for those playing along at home and all those who have been to upper West before (so you know what canyon is being referred to):

Havent been through for awhile but I don't remember anything more than a partner assist/easy pack toss in there. Only way the conditions will affect things much is if they have been scoured recently.

We have used a skinny dyneema pull cord for quite some time. It is true they are quite stretchy. There are a few tricks to pulling them. Generally we tie a biner in to give something to hold onto as...

The last picture was the anchor I remember the most from going through there, sure makes you wonder how solid knots tied with seatbelts are! Bet your quads are still sore aren't they? Nice TR.

I can't comment on any of the Leps in particular but everything we did last weekend in that general neighborhood was quite wet.

Nice video. I love that rap in Yankee Doodle. Definitely not much water. How were the bugs?

Great points made here. Very well said. That same day we were all set to do Choprock. When we dropped down from Egypt earlier in the week, there was a 0% chance of rain that Friday. All it took was 2...

We did Neon last Thursday. We dropped in where the forks meet. A few sections of swimming- first keeper is chest deep with water and the last keeper is still a couple feet over the lip. It was the...

Wow, shirtless through zero g- you must have tougher skin than I do. So is Eardley really worth the long slog hike in? Opinions seem to be strong on both sides.

I did Diana's Throne Canyon last weekend with my wife and 2 small kids. 6 or so small raps that are pretty easy, fun downclimbs, and scenic narrow spots. It's just south of the Mt Carmel junction....

Lists vary greatly by what people have done. Like Axe eluded to above, I kind of categorize them:

Beginner friendly: Pine Creek
Nonstop fun: Slideanide
Bang for your buck: Morocco???
Scenery:...

Ditto to what slot machine said. If everyone is competent with sandtrap and potshot anchors, you can easily spread out and turn the standing around time into get the next anchor ready time. The...

A rescue at night? In the freezing cold? Props to S&R.

Same thoughts as Kody above. A lot of trips pop up with only a few weeks planning. I'll try to keep you in mind as summer approaches. Definitely bump this thread in the coming weeks.

I did spry in mid April last year and it was fine without a wetsuit. You should check out candition.com. You can go back and look at previous comments from the months you are looking to go. Things...

So how many potholes did you have to go through? Or are they all avoidable?

As of 3 days ago there was only one small area holding water and it is easily avoided. At least East Lep I should say.

I have done Pine Creek in both March and in April. Both times the group size was 2 and we moved relatively quickly. Both days the air temp was 50s-60s. Despite this there was still some ice on the...

Great pics. If I owned a company I'd let you advertise for me because your last couple reports have made me want to pack up and head for DV. Well done.

Seems like you're trying way too hard to make Bootboy look bad and are accomplishing the exact opposite. Why do I feel like I've read this thread before? Anyone wanna camp at Sandthrax?

Lots of private land issues on Kauai. You should PM Dakine. He's a good dude and if anyone can give you some insight, it's him.

Nice video. Sure beats the 20 degrees and freezing fog I see out the window.
