    Great story...

    I took my wife on an adventure like that when we first met 22 years ago and she still beats me with it whenever she wants to put me in my place.

    Great story!!

    I was down in Zion that weekend 2010. Trekking up Orderville as ash rained down from the fire. It was a little apocalyptic, let me tell ya.

    Yep. Got in about 25 canyons this year and hope to add a few more at FreezeFest. The rest of the group, including the wife, has rotated through. A new child sure makes getting us both out in the same canyon more difficult...

    Sure did. I'd say the worst part is that now I can't seem to enter a canyon without WAY more gear and supplies than I need. A habit I'm slowly breaking as the confidence and skills wax stronger.

    Couldn't tell ya. I don't know my Juniperus osteosperma from my Artemisia tridentata. Especially when it comes to hops

    Great story, thanks for bringing it forth into the light of day.

    I do notice that my beta on the Right Fork is pretty ambiguous on how long it takes. I'll be revising that.

    I enjoyed reading this trip. Nice job in getting through it!

    Reminded me of the last canyon I did. I told myself, "hey - I never use the med kit, all these granola bars, and extra water; I'll just leave it behind and save some weight". That was the only time I left that stuff, and the one time I needed it all. We ended up route finding on cliffs in the dark and cold. Not fun.

    Awesome post.

    No injury, no SAR mission. You got a couple of extra days in the backcountry. I believe the your trip was a success for the simple reason that you brought your wife along. That leaves no one at home to prematurely alert the authorities. I sometimes worry that if I am a few hours late I will be hearing the thump thump thump of the helicopters. Of course I deal with this by adding buffer time to when my wife should expect to hear from me.

    Perhaps some day I will have the courage to share some of my more bone head trips-what am I saying-they never happened.
