Great pics.
Was there still anchor in there with 2 bolts placed INCREDIBLY close together? On the left (LDC)?
I was in there years ago, and marveled someone would place 2 bolts so they were almost touching..... (or were they touching? I remember it was really close if they weren't touching.)
Beautiful canyon. We fixed off the side, from a large tree with I think about a 30M rope to another tree, then a 60M to the canyon floor. It put us maybe 3 or 4 raps from the bottom.
A very nice loop for those that like to jug!Check out www.ajroadtrips.com

Wow! There's like, a glacier in there!
Supposed to be doing middle Echo at the start of July. I think I'll invest in some neoprene socks to go with my wetsuit (assuming it's open by then).

Last time, we hiked down the peninsula and fixed a 300'er off a tree there. But, the dirt between the trail and the peninsula is very fragile, so encouraging people to go that way is not a good idea. I thought the 240' jug up the peninsula in the full sun was torturous. With the rope available, doing the whole thing seemed like a better idea. It would have helped to have more than 2 people. Hauling the packs with all that rope back up was a definite "pig-fest".
Did you go down through the whole canyon? It is a wonderful canyon.

Nice TR, it looks like a great canyon! The upclimb sure sounded like it took some work.

I've spent a lot of time looking down in the canyon from the trail and wondered what it was like in there. Thanks for the awesome glimpse.
