Hold your horses Win!

Its coming very soon!

I think you'll love this place...you and your camera. Hope you got that camera fired up again?

**oldno7** · 10-08-2007, 07:04 AM

around Kanab creek??

**tanya** · 10-08-2007, 07:10 AM

Nope.... it's only a 6ish mile hike..... quite a bit of steep uphill on the return though. Not too scenic during the hike, but the pictos are some of the best I bet in the area.

**Win** · 10-08-2007, 07:11 AM

Thanks, Tanya. Camera was trashed but a new one is on its way. Somewhere in the AZ strip is my guess.

**tanya** · 10-08-2007, 07:13 AM

Yes... somewhere Grand in Arizona!

I read that post about your camera. Look on the bright side! You get a new one!

**oldno7** · 10-08-2007, 07:21 AM

on the house rock side??

Much closer than your House Rock guess!
The area is pretty remote yet somewhat close to a favorite viewpoint that sees relatively little visitation!

Not to change the thread, but how did your saturday hike go? Did you end up going to Birch?

**oldno7** · 10-08-2007, 07:56 AM

doesn't look particularly like toroweap--not really like bar 10 either but it must be one of the 2.

trip Sat. went well-ended up with 13 going down birch. tried to stick a rope and one guys 200' rope left me 12' off the deck on a 100' rap,he said it was 200' last year

Your first guess is really close! I'll let Tanya spill the beans since she started this thread though!

Glad to hear your trip went well! Certainly not short of company on the passage. Short ropes can leave one "high and dry"! Were you single-lining with a "contingency anchor"? or did you 'PLF' the maneuver?

**oldno7** · 10-08-2007, 08:24 AM

yes single line--just tied off and had my buddy toss me the end of his rope,tied the 2 together and rapped down. I also had a 60' piece of 8mm in my pack if no one was there to help I would have been fine.

been just using a fig.8 contingency/block

**oldno7** · 10-08-2007, 08:28 AM

sorry for the hijack Tanya--

isn't there a road that forks off of toroweap and goes above crystal rapid?

never been on that one. This is below the Mt. Trumbull turnoff I presume.

**Iceaxe** · 10-08-2007, 09:00 AM

Amazing stuff for sure......

And the rock art was also nice......

**oldno7** · 10-08-2007, 09:59 AM

Is the point just to our left off Tanyas right shoulder Toroweap?

We were close to Toroweap. You would drive out on the Toroweap Road and then take a remote side road to one of the paths to Tuck Up Canyon.....

So I assume it's Tuck Up Canyon that Bo is looking for you to say.

Scott! You were close to it when you did your Iron Butt and saw the Nampaweap Petroglyphs.

http://www.zionnational-park.com/ima...m2/index26.htm

One of the largest known rock art sites on the Arizona Strip is Nampaweap (Billy Goat Canyon). The site is 1/2 mile long and contains thousands of individual rock art elements on hundreds of boulders.

The picto's we just hiked to are called the Shaman Gallery.

"Gordon's Panel, also known as Shamans' Gallery, contains the oldest prehistoric evidence of man in the Grand Canyon and is quite possibly the most important rock art panel discovered on the North American continent. The site was used by Indian shamans to try and communicate with the supernatural for thousands of years. Did they actually see what they painted? The images are multicolored, abstract, and life sized. Underlying these figures are earlier images. Some of the smaller figures in the caves, the oldest paintings, look like neanderthal man paintings. Other paintings look like deer with huge antlers, "space men" with antennas, and objects that look like space craft."
