Hmmm. Sounds like a bolt is needed but perhaps one in a better place. I don't know the first thing about installing bolts, but know that spot somewhat and am happy to help if we want to do a more...

I'm also wondering this! Any ideas for water canyons to cool off in this weekend?

Fatigue matters too. And general attitude to risk. Seems a difficult climb from bottom at end of a longish day. Someone competent and experienced when physically drained is certainly a good idea. I...

The foresight in the choice of protective footwear is inspirational.

My 2015 outback was not too much more than 25K and gets around 30 mpg highway and 25-26 mpg city. Ground clearance increased in 2015 and is nearly Jeep level now.

Hmmm. Did these just appear in the last 24 hours? Are these not the same things? I just checked and they have all sizes.

My memory is about 5 hours, which included 20 minutes looking for our rope that sank in the last pool. :) But could have been 6 hours. Still, a fairly leisurely 6. I see where Road Trip Ryan...

While I agree with and very much appreciate the main thrust of the argument here, it surely goes too far in saying that beta should be put away once at the canyon, if understood to be a definitive...

Thanks, folks! Very helpful. I'm surprised someone as big as 205 got through the low road. What Shane says about the minor variations makes sense to me. Still not sure I would want to do it (I'm...

I've done Zero G twice, and each time we've been risk-averse--worried about getting stuck--and sent everyone over the chockstone. This is a bit of a nuisance, especially because we had to set up a...

Sweet. We zig-zagged about half way down while you took a more direct route I think. But the top half looks the same. Halfway down, we went a bit more toward the upcanyon side. From your pics, I...

I want to give this shorcut route a HUGE thumbs up! Props to Jman for identifying it and posting the route. He neglected the coordinates, but here they are (he messaged me with them; thanks!):...

I lost my wetsuit in Spry today between 1st and 4th rappel. Would like it back if possible. Tip: don't leave stuff strapped to outside of pack when you remove something bulky from pack like ropebag....

I use a purcell, tied using Bluugnome's very helpful instructions. It does snag some, but not too badly. Mine is 18 inches at its shortest and I girth hitch it around the loops at the front and then...

I practiced this in my yard today and it looked like this after I moved the CRITR below the knot and was pulling the VT down to weight the CRITR. I thought this was pretty straightforward....

I haven't been recently, but underlying conditions have apparently changed quite a bit in Yankee Doodle. See:

Here are...

I want to second the idea of a VT Prussik above the rappel device. It is a very useful tool in some circumstances, such as first one on rappel when facing a long or unknown rappel or when very tired....

I agree that a 9.2 is best for beginners, not only for yourself but for others you might bring along. More friction aids learning by slowing things down. More friction builds confidence for folks who...

Thank you. I wasn't personally offended, but could see how someone could take offense. It sounds like you had a nasty encounter and I would be miffed as well.

It is reasonable to think that some folks headed for Red Caves caused some kind of problem for the landowners and that they are justifiably reluctant to facilitate headaches to their property.

Nice pics and thanks for the information. But I don't think the tone of this post generally will be helpful in any future effort to negotiate access. I might encourage you to re-think some of this...

I really enjoy the CRITR and agree it has more friction than the Pirana. I'm not sure what counts as a "fat rope," but I use a 9.2 that is definitely broken in and I find the CRITR just fine, even...

So, RoadTripRyan suggests the way below. He mentions it crosses private property but doesn't suggest there are any issues. Is this the "other way in" that you refer to, Tanya, where the landowner is...

The road from Virgin to Subway (Kolob Terrace Road) has good camping just off the right-hand side as you're heading to the park.
