    Agreed. I loved the CRITR but this is better. Watch out for the hot tail after big raps. I have a collection of SQWURL burns on my left thigh. The size makes this a frequent occurrence unless you...

    The book is small, contains mostly known routes and several that I would consider "filler", that aren't really canyons but hikes with a rappel. That being said, I still like having it in the...

    Trying to give golf bags away to canyoneers...that's funny. Apparently difficult too. How much rope will one of those things hold?

    Maybe we could get a fire escape installed in there to up the safety level even more! Screw those guys who think anchor building is a fun part of the challenge. Safety first! Lets make sure the...

    You asked so I assumed you were concerned. No one is asking you to change your plans. There is plenty of room as Tom says.

    Perhaps I can help. My wife is also in this group. I believe they plan to camp West of the airstrip in the big area but also discussed sites down by the river for overflow and/or folks who wants...

    From what I know, the group has many quality folks and is well organized. I suspect they will treat the place well and stay out of trouble.

    I have information from reliable sources that there will be a large group, possibly 60+, camped at Hidden Splendor in the Swell this weekend, from Thursday until Monday. Those looking for solitude...

    Nice TR. Glad you had fun. I was there at the same time and saw the Idaho vehicles at trail head. I thought you were with other friends of mine from Idaho who were parked right next to you.

    Thanks Londog, and Deb and Tom as well for remembering and alerting me. Not on Bogley enough these days. Sent you a PM sir. What is really remarkable is how long that canyon went untravelled. Its...

    After reading this I had to dig up an old post of my trip through this canyon. Two years later and hopefully just a tad bit wiser, I will make an admission that was at the time left out. We were in...

    Seriously, the first time I've laughed out loud on Bogley. Thanks Shane. I've still never been shut down on a permit so no need to test this for now.

    Re: Poaching fines in Zion

    ??? Still waiting. I like canyons, hate permits, have (almost) nine friends and $20. Need some confirmation. Reminds me of the first time I got ticketed $20 for a random violation in Mexico. I...

    Thanks all for the ideas. I have some new stuff to try now. No one has identified any disadvantages of the ATS in stitch plate mode yet so if you haven't tried that I highly recommend it. Pretty...

    I like that combo but again the pulling upward with the brake is not my favorite. Once the full "Z" is engaged it is fine, but that is too much friction to start a long free hang when I tried it. ...

    How do you rig for a big free hang?

    For a couple of years, big free hangs made me nervous because I just couldn't seem to get comfortable with my friction. I'm 200 lbs and typically used 8.3 to 9.2 mm rope and a pirana. No horns, too...

    I really like extending as well. Being able to use both hands on the brake is very helpful if not completely sure of your friction, such as an unfamiliar rope or rappel.

    I forgot all about this new one when we were out there last month. Will plan to check it out soon. Possibly a great place for Sand Trap and the new water inserts we have been testing this season.

    Adam, I believe you misunderstood my email yesterday. I am not cancelling. I am a solid maybe, and a "probably" at this point. Just won't get there Thursday. I had a small group of friends that...

    Peter,

    You are correct in NOT assuming this canyon would drain in five days. Be prepared for water regardless of what the weather does this week. The lower canyon was full and wet two full weeks...
