Group with for a "short hike" and had to be rescued.

The current bolts and bolts on the left require talking a 200 ft rope. The old location was perfect requiring a 120 ft rope and an interesting down climb. I would live to see them reestablished on...

I love how KSL called it a "Day Hike" and pointed out the location of the canyon. Hmm, I see more people stuck.

We have tried that, it only makes them call faster :haha:

This is probably the hardest call to make. When do you want SAR called? What is a "normal problem?"

Normally, we check in between 8 pm and 11 pm.

This time, the sheriff's office deployed an...

Steve's factually incorrect story came from a 5 minute conversation. His facebook account will not allow non friends to comment. His erroneous facebook post seemed like he was promoting himself as a...

I use a black Magic Marker with my initials. Yes it comes off easily and has to be redone frequently, but it is cheap and easy.

Do we have an update on this canyon?

Anchors and rope size must also be re-evalutated.

So true. The trip will take a lot longer than expected (unless all your boys are very experienced).

It took 1 1/2 hours to do the rappel in Three Canyons with 4 leaders and 8 boys. One boy took...

I was down in Moab for a quick bike trip. I thought I would try a shot of the night sky over moonflower with my D7100 and my 14-24 lens. I had forgotten my tripod. So I propped it on the hood of the...

On the other hand, if the conditions are really bad, you wouldn't want to bring your girlfriend's lapdog in a dry sack. :roflol:

When we pulled up the night before, we must have seen 15 cars. Luckily a good chunk of them were doing Larrys.

If we had all used TNuget's rope, it would have been one big bottleneck. Yep, 5 ropes...

Even with 5 groups (over 20 people?), we didn't bump into anyone in the canyon. We did have a nice chat afterwords with one of the groups.

@TNegent, thank you for letting us know the canyon had...

I loved the demonstration of rappelling with low impact, pulling a sand trap anchor and best of all muddy boots on shoulders pothole escape. :roflol:

:2thumbs:

It was awesome to watch the video. Thank you for the bump. :2thumbs:

In order to get rid of calling ballet, diving, gymnastics, high jump, running, etc. a sport, I long ago accepted this definition:

"A sport is anything with a team and a ball"

I am willing to...

I am torn on this topic. It was the dog that made this canyoneering story so awesome: http://www.bogley.com/forum/showthread.php?23494-A-Sh***y-Trip-in-Heaps&p=450766&viewfull=1

I like the "Black Diamond Couloir Mountaineering Harness" (http://blackdiamondequipment.com/en/climbing-harnesses/couloir-harness-BD651039BORGS_M1.html). I buy then on Sale. Same advantages as BD...

I am saddened by this tragedy. My condolence to family, friends and everyone involved.

I discovered the horrible news by reading the Tribune article. Because this site was down, I mistakenly read...

It is always fun to see a natural, non tree anchor in ZNP! Thank for sharing. :2thumbs:

Maybe renaming the fiddlestick is the answer (it worked for the Maxi Pad). :naughty::bootyshake::roflol:Love the thread. :2thumbs:

Sweet first post. I am glad you are ok.

I took her to Yankee Doodle and she chickened out on the rap. Hasn't been interested in a new canyon since.

Zero G is great.. no rap for us featherweights.

If I remember Dragonfly, the raps...

We were headed for Undercover last January 2 but there was snow on the northern slopes. We did Rock of Ages though the ice water instead.

I didn't get wet (stick walking pool arch and jump from...
