I tapped this out on my iphone last summer during a 13 day sea kayaking expedition in Glacier Bay, Alaska with my now-husband.

I'm a writer. I'm always thinking, always writing and sometimes my...

Thanks for sharing, Slot Machine! I'll bet that rappel in Pine Creek was memorable as your first longer rappel. Stephanie is totally a superhero. We did Knotted Rope together at a Chickfest a couple...

She's going to love #3!

Awesome trip report and pictures! I love your arch photo with the Henrys behind it. That is a beautiful spot, and one you get to enjoy only if you do the loooooong exit! Which it sounds like is the...

Good job, Tom and friends, for getting that rope out of there quickly. I'm glad you were able to stay dry. It's a cold time of year to be in a wet canyon in Zion!

It was about 7 pm when huge raindrops fell on us in Subway Canyon in Zion National Park. When we felt the rain we were hiking in a smooth, sculpted rock hallway dotted with small pools of water. We...

Here is a canyon report:
Miss Piggy - It's worth remembering for next FF that Miss Piggy has very sunny, warm exposure mid-day and is a good Freezefest choice. We were all sweating in Miss Piggy....

Request for pictures and TR? Well, this was the best Freezefest ever (for me). It was my third Freezefest in a row and conditions were great this year. Almost all canyons were accessible, we saw...

Great video Dan! When all my canyon gear was frozen solid, it was time for me to leave the fest and go find a hot spring. Now I am at home missing Freezefest. :mrgreen:

Awesome photos Mike! I love the water droplets spraying in the air. What a memorable day. It was scary to watch you and Matt rappel over those two core shots.

I feel very sad to hear about the loss of this talented canyoneer and climber. May his memory live on as others learn of his adventures, especially the first ascent of Sandthrax. I feel a renewed...

It all started at Freezefest around a huge campfire. Snow, frozen water and
zero degree temperatures attract a group of...

Good to know. Slithering through Belfast Boulevard is always great. I'll be careful with that one rock, though.

Love the campfire pic. Looks like a good time in the snow! I am headed to S Utah in a week and am hoping some of the snow goes away to make canyoneering a bit easier.

Nice trip report, thanks...

You should bring a cute blonde girl to help talk your way out of whatever ticket they might try to give you.

Really? We weren't supposed to do that? I'm really sorry. We won't do it again, I...

I really enjoyed meeting you, too. I always enjoy your trip reports and your pics. Your last jump sounded a bit scary to me...but fun to read about!

Awesome video! :2thumbs:

It leaves you wanting to see even more black hole footage!

And did anyone notice the name of the streak photo? BLUE MOON! :roflol: :roflol: :roflol:

Having a blast at Freezefest! The "mapleton boys" fed us incredible food last night. THANK YOU! And thank you, Don, for the very first streak of 2010. :naughty:

Black hole went ok for those...

Good for you for trying something that scared you! I think we should all do at least a couple things a year that scare the heck out of us.

Thanks for sharing your experience. :2thumbs:

Great descriptions, great contribution to the community.

Nice TR, it looks like a great canyon! The upclimb sure sounded like it took some work.:mrgreen:

Yeah, we also did Knotted Rope, Egypt 3 and Crack. Knotted Rope and E3 had good water as well.
