Thread: What happened in Heaps Canyon??

  1. #21
    You guys are quick to find things out!
    The only reason I found out something was amiss is because I tried to get a permit.
    Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

    I hate to say this.... but for the extremely small number of folks participating in this sport the fatality rate seems pretty high to me... barely two years ago we lost two in Choprock. And was it last year one in Behunin...

    This is not a forgiving sport.

    I agree. There have been a lot of deaths for such a small sport. If you count the tourist canyons fatilities in Europe and Antelope due to flash floods, the numbers are even higher, but not the ratio.

    Anyway, the news gets worse. This was popular canyons group member desertres group. He request waiting before speculation and rumors start. The post is below.

    On Friday, September 5th, Christopher Frankewicz, 37, of Springdale, fell while descending through Behunin Canyon, a rugged canyoneering route that involves route finding, numerous rappels, and normally takes about eight hours. Frankewicz was traveling alone and intended to complete the trip in one day. Friends reported him overdue late Friday evening, and a ground search was begun early on Saturday morning. In late morning, a helicopter joined the search. Frankewicz

    I had planned to do Heaps later this summer.......currently reconsidering.
    It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

    I wonder if a bolt(s) blew out on him? What a terrifying way to go. My condolences to his family as well.
