    Sounds like fun! I'm 90% sure I'll come along. Though I'm 90% sure I have no idea what I'm getting into - but that's just me. I'm up for anything.

    Harness? j/k Now I'm even more excited

    It's just for a bit of rappelling, right? From what I was able to find in the thread - scramble up the south, rap off some other side?

    Hey Mike!

    Meet us at 9AM on Sunday at the parking area on the west side of the small tunnel.

    Sooo, I just got back home from a short trip, and I'm rereading this stuff thinking something doesn't seem right to me....and it's that I think Tanya was talking about THIS Sunday, and not next Sunday! Dang! I suppose I could make it down there by 9am.....if I left in 2 hours So Tanya & Bo if you are meeting in 8 hours I hope one of you reads this before you go.

    So sorry ... my confusion comes from a few PM's where I was chatting with Tanya about stuff for the weekend of the 21st, so that's why I thought it was next weekend, but she was clearly talking about this Sunday :(

    Sorry you can't make it Mike?! What are you thinking/brainstorming for the weekend of the 21st? Maybe we can get together then? Here are a couple pics of our objective today. Ant Hill.

    No problem... Bo and I go out just about every weekend. From what I remember of the PM... you wanted to do Canaan Mountain, but I said there is too much snow and mentioned doing something on the east side of Zion. Whatever we do next weekend, as Bo said, you are welcome to join us. You might not even need a harness then.

    Did you explore that western twin (route canal)?

    Bo and I checked out two drainages after we attempted Ant Hill. The one directly below it and the one that is on the same side of the road, only it's just before the east side of the little tunnel. It's pretty in there. Similar to Many Pools.

    Shelf Canyon is pretty.

    You went some way other than to scramble over that block of rocks in Petroglyph Canyon?

    just below the start of the narrow section of petroglyph is a nose that is good, the lower 50' is a little steep but doable.
