Lomatium in Arches
Location: Arches National Park, Lomatium route
Condition: Dry, one little puddle to cross, temps in 40-50s
People: Iceman, rockgremlin, Mark (6inch), Marc, shaggy125, Kazak, Ben, Price.
Date: Saturday, February 24th 2007
Description: After meeting everyone at 8am by the Visitor Center and watching the holy movie of crypto loving, we headed out to the Fiery Furnace. The initial hike into the furnace was a little chilly, but very pleasant. Luckily, Iceman came along and helped us do the route finding among the fins. After about an hour of hiking, we finally came to about 140ft free air rappel. The guys did an outstanding job rigging up the anchor to retrieve everything, including the webbing anchor.
Since it was a first rap of the trip and it was total free air, I thought I would need to change my pants once I reached the ground and my hands would need the fire extinguisher to put out the burns (mental note bring gloves next time). rock was able to practice the firefighter rappel on me .
On the next rap, we did the double descend to speed up the process, because the winds in the canyon were getting cold and we had to move on. After the double rappel, we began the hike out of the furnace and met up with the ranger guided tour. Of course we were the bad asses of the desert, waving our helmets around and talking the talk Them tourists gave us the "WOW" look and continued on.
We were done in about 3-4 hours, it was an easy hike with lots of picture taking (posing).

It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

Awesome pic's guys. I took a fair amount of video, turned out to be more scenery shots than action, but it turned out alright. Tierdrop video sometime in the near future, TR for my blog post... probably within a week or two.
