Wow! Navigating cliffs, narrows, hazards, and rappelling all through an unknown canyon in the dark? Wow, that takes some guts.
And do you really sleep? Maybe a couple of pills helped knock you out. Other tricks?
Given all the elements involved, definitely expert level stuff here. Great report and congratulations.

As semi-unplanned bivies go, this one was might comfortable. Foam from the pack, down jacket, warm hat, shell with hood, legs in the pack, rope for a pillow. Mike gave me the foil blankie which helped a lot. Mike had a tiny bivy bag; matt had a tiny sil tarp.
Slept reasonably well. Would wake from the cold every hour or two, do some exercises to get the blood flowing again, fall back asleep. I took some IBU and a Benedryl with my last half-swallow of water. A good thing about hiking through the dark - the first third of the night was spent moving, so only 8 hours of bivy.

Lovely TR and pics. That's a big rap; 310 feet.
Tom, I assume you're fully recovered from last years little trip up...12 months ago now I guess.

Good one, it's hard not to wonder about that canyon every time I drive past and catch a glimpse of it.
