Ok I stand corrected! I must just be warm blooded and can't hack it, hahha. But the blow to my ego is so worth seeing that awesome picture. Thanks for posting it.

Sarah forgot to mention the group in front of us, whom she christened "Cargo Cult" Canyoneers. They had some equipment (A piece of rope of suspect origin) and knew some terminology. ("On Belay!") Other than that, they seemed to be just using a knot block on the rope then using it as an assist for downclimbing all the raps...

*teehee* Don't take it personally - most of us are English and so being cold and damp is a way of life for us

Swimming through that stuff at the end was ... gross!

Looks like you girls had a fun time!

Oh yeah, the gross organic debris pool! Always exciting!
The freakiest part of that to me is that I can't help but imagine that there might be dead things floating around in there, or sumburged just below the surface! Yikes...sometimes you actually see them! Mice and such. ICK!

I'm with the "cold tolerant" crowd and have gone through Keyhole without a wetsuit & didn't have a problem. My daughter Sarah actually went through one year in a bathing suit! I don't know how she did it, but she managed to stem most of the wet sections.

We were going thru that gunk one time and a snake kept sticking his head up. Did not like that at all. We were all in swim suits not wet suits. I DO NOT LIKE SNAKES.

I saw a dead, bloated toad in Keyhole during Bogleyfest and screamed like an 8 year old.

I'm not sure how I would have handled a snake. Racer? No problem. Rattler? Freeeeeaaaakkk Ouuuuuuuuut! I ASSumed snakes wouldn't be in the cold water. How does that work?

I LOVE snakes!!!

I did a canyon here in Calif. a couple of months ago which was teaming with snakes! And salamanders, and frogs and these cool (but dangerous) water bugs! I loved swimming with all these creatures (except the water bugs), they scared me!

Here are some pictures of some of the creatures...

PS: I tried to catch the snakes but they were too fast!
