Canyon year

[shaggy125]

So... is it too early to post the annual how many canyons did you do this year post? It's always been a popular post in the past. I was self loathing about how little I got out this year because of school but when I broke it down to a list of how many canyons I did (not to mention riding days and climbing days) I started to feel better about myself. Here is my list for the year so far:

Feeling the pangs of my own guilt, I already turned myself in. They can't prosecute you twice for the same crime, can they?

little wild horse

[rockgremlin]

Shenanigans -- with Rob, me, and your dad -- remember?

I'm boycotting this thread by the way -- such a blatant pissing contest.

[jumar]

Ooo, I'm jealous with how much you guys get out. I only get out occasionally and am limited on time so I'm stuck doing short routes.

Let's see...

Dragonfly
Bighorn
White Roost
High Spur

So... is it too early to post the annual how many canyons did you do this year post? It's always been a popular post in the past. I was self loathing about how little I got out this year because of school but when I broke it down to a list of how many canyons I did (not to mention riding days and climbing days) I started to feel better about myself. Here is my list for the year so far.Let's see everyone's list.

Dang! Even with school, you got out a lot!

My outdoor activities this year included a lot of hiking, a few climbing trips, and two caving trips as well.

Considering I work full time, have a lousy three weeks vacation per year, and I have kids, I got out a fair number of times.

Anyhow, here's my canyon list.

Lytle Creek - Ca
Upper Jump - Ca (twice)
Kaweah - Ca
Cerberus - Ca (twice)
Hades
Jug - Az
Meadow - Az
Crystal - Az

Neon (short)
EII & up EIII
Chop Rock
Pine Creek (twice)
Fat Man's Misery (twice)
Water Canyon
Spry
Imlay
Echo
Lou Ellen (sp?)
Cathedral in the Desert

I think that's it.

Got plans to attend Freeze Fest too, but I hope to do something other than canyons the entire time. I wanna see some country beyond the canyons...some artwork and ruins and stuff...

~ We got moving water here in Cali! Here's a picture of me lounging around on the upper Jump trip of the North Fork of the Kings River after rapping a waterfall ~

Come on rock, you joined in when we did the same thing back in 2005,

http://www.uutah.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1108

now we are braggers? Actually it kind of shows what a loser I am. I'm pretty impressed with how much a lot of you married with kids guys get out, like You, Shane, Marc, etc... If I ever end up married with kids I hope I can get out half as much as you guys.

Oh alright.....I'll play -- even though I can only pee about 13 inches compared to your 4 feet, and Carpey's 5 feet.

[b]1. Lomatium (Arches)
2. Tierdrop (Arches)
3. Big Horn (Arches)
4. The Black Hole (Cedar Mesa)
5. Shenanigans (North Wash)
6. Happy Canyon (Lower Robber

[CarpeyBiggs]

Oh alright.....I'll play -- even though I can only pee about 13 inches compared to your 4 feet, and Carpey's 5 feet.

But you're the one who taught me to pee that far, remember? And we all know that lots of pressure + small hole = lotsa distance.

Squeeze
Secret canyon

A few before the end of the year, Mystery and Birch.

[Cirrus2000]

Finally, I can play! I can play!


First ever "technical" canyon was in mid-October, so I'm happy with:

West Leprechaun
West Blarney
Boss Hog
Cassidy

Plus October non-technical:
Spooky
Peekaboo
Coyote Gulch
plus lots of other less canyon-y stuff

Back in March, non-technical:
Buckskin/Paria all the way to Lees Ferry

April non-technical:
Horseshoe Canyon
and a bit of the Maze

Dang, it's been a good year - no, a great year! Gotta see how next year goes... I have a feeling it'll involve less total time in Utah than this year, but I think the quality will be good. And next year I'm really gonna lobby to make Freeze-fest. It's a no-go this year, sadly.

[shaggy125]

Nice Kev, the first canyons are always the best! Let us know when you will be out here again, I'd be willing to let you tag along.

Eric.

[AJ]

Very cool all. Great to see people getting out; and especially those new to the sport...

As for the pissing contest, it's all in the way you arc... ;)

And still a few more to come at FreezeFest...

I agree with Randi though; there's a lot more to do out there than canyons. It's been a pretty good year...

Take care,
A.J.

[shaggy125]

..... A really long list of canyons followed by the last one ....
Dang

Take care,
A.J.

Dang... is right! That's quite the list, so this brings up the question to the dudes with long lists, what is your day job? Do you just get out like EVERY weekend or do you get a lot of days off to do extended trips? Or do you work? I work 12 hour shifts so once school is done it's 6 on 8 off for me, can't wait!
