Wayne County Search and Rescue

[quote=TNTRebel]OK, small world, when I was getting prepared for surgery, the nurse and I started to talk about what happened, and I said I wish I had summoned some of the bogley folks that knew the canyon to help my son get out. I mentioned Tom Jones and

Oh, forgot to mention. I "lent" my 9.2mm Double Sheath Canyon Pro rope to the SAR folks to get them down the last rap, so they could rig up the last two raps while there was still daylight (one with their rope, and one with mine), and I guess mine got hung up on the last

We'll I'm back in the saddle after my epic in Larry Canyon last year and ACL surgery... just finished my first technical canyon since the ordeal. We took a small group of young men through Birch Hollow, down Orderville Canyon and out the narrows (12 or so miles I understand) and my knee held up with my new Breg Fusion XT brace. Walking on the greased bowling balls in the narrows seemed to be the hardest part on my knee, but with my collapsible hiking poles, I made it :-) We are thinking about Clear Creek Canyon in Lake Powell next. Anxious to get back to Larry Canyon to finish it correctly . Good the surgeon decided to double up the ACL with a spare when he did the surgery.
