Thank you for clarifying what this thread is about; also, for clarification on what Bogley is and is not.
I will look for useful information elsewhere.

It seems that this thread is having trouble deciding what it wants to be. Is it a bitch session regarding an organization that most people don't belong to; or, is it an airing of facts so that people...

We had one more leg of our journey to complete--the 3 Leprechauns. We had wanted to get these out of the way early in the morning, but waited until the heat of the day when it would be warmest and we...

It was probably the blast from your slipstream that raised devils of sand and toppled a pack that gave the 'illusion' of speed. My apologies. :wink:

Seriously, it would be great to get together....

The feelings are entirely mutual. I hope we can do more together next season. You introduced several topics to discuss and I was concentrating and/or too tired to hold up my end of the conversation....

We had an interesting beginning long before we hit the trail. We had never met. I had read much of what Mountaineer had written on the 'nets. He seemed like he would be a thoughtful and careful...

Your group was one of a kind-- biggest group, most newbies, most 'new to you' canyons, in the dark. I don't think anyone went at night. You also provided the most enthusiasm. If we do it again, we...

The Irish Jihad has come to a successful close. Thank you to all who supported the event from donors, to sponsors, to participants, to those who helped from far behind the scenes. Also, thanks to...

You lay down in the sand when someone asks for a helmet stand.

Byron,
Thanks for considering carefully your decision and for sharing your reasoning to disclose the 'shortcut' to the known Hall's Creek canyons. It is such a tough route in from the top when...

I sure hope Pat isn't reading this. We told him that is how canyoneers wear them.

Congrats on a terrific trip and great TR. That is one of the best descriptions I have heard for that canyon. How super awesome that it was a family outing. I am glad to see more people getting into...

Hey Mark,
I thought maybe you had given up your forum membership, sold your gear, and moved to...Mars.
I agree about the wind on Ticaboo. When it is a pleasant breeze elsewhere it is a wicked...

The crossing of Hansen from Mile Post 32-ish on 276 is still pretty rough. With the storms from last week, it would be better to head in from MP 25.5-ish of 276 and take the road that goes past...

I pretty much concur with Mark. There are few protected camps on Ticaboo Mesa. It has been pretty hot. It could be that unprotected (from the wind) camping will be appreciated. A breeze will also...

I would like to point out that 'victims' who have alerted the sheriff of a need for help often do not get to choose what level of assistance they will receive.
It is entirely the sheriff's call as...

Seeing your other post reminded me I wanted to reply to this.

Are you married?
Do you know that if looking for a mate, there are better ways than leaving your initials and part of your phone...

This is a very good idea for the rappel in question. I bet the majority of people skitter either at the top getting on rope and/or at the bottom avoiding the water. I would like to see this method...

Before this goes away, I would like to express some of my views gleaned from the few statements that I have read. It is obvious that the webbing for the anchor was worn and broke.
It looks to me...

GJ was hit hard with storms from earlier this week (mon-wed). We had .63 inches of rain AND 4 inches of snow. I can't speak specifically for the Swell or the Roost but I would expect wet conditions....

I'm not quite willing to take you to Escalante, but I'd take you through Upper Stair in preparation of your own trip.
Anyone who would like a lesson in navigating the skinnies can send me a PM....

If Scott is too old, what does that makes us? Crazy old codgers? Or, perhaps, it is just that our children are grown and on their own. We don't have daily responsibilities towards them.
Scott has...

In canyons like W Lep, Shenanigans, Chambers, and Sandthrax you can go high and find a space in which you fit comfortably. In fact, people will do better if they realize that Sandthrax isn't about...

Well, while we are thread jacking... PINTAC? Egypt 4?

Ten good reasons to join the Irish Jihad:
1) Support Garfield and Wayne counties' SAR through donations
2) Challenge yourself in a new and different way
3) Have a really good reason to eat Stan's...
