Awesome New Moab Slot
Here are a couple teaser pictures of a slot we did this weekend. We kinda stumbled on to it while looking for something else. Marc Olivares, Keith Frank and I scouted the slot from the rim on Friday, and then Marc and I did the route on Saturday after sending Keith home with instructions of where to look for the bodies if we didn't show up by Sunday night.
Here is what I can tell you about the slot.... it's in the Moab area and its and "honest to God slot canyon". The actual slot is over 1 mile long and is not the usual Moab type stuff. The route has rappels up to 200'.
I'll try and get the beta written up and posted this week.... so until then..... enjoy the pictures....

Is it by hole in the rock - the house?

Sounds great, possibly in the lost springs area with the others?

Before posting, maybe Ice can give us some clues and see if we can figure it out.

Thanks Ice! You're the best.
You really are my favorite scum sucking poser and beta peddler.
And I am one that doesn't mind paying for membership for your excellent beta and gps.
Seriously, I really do appreciate it.
And thank you too, Randy!
