Constrychnine 10/19/2013
We had a neighborhood marathon trip to Constrychnine on Oct 19. Due to lack of participation from what was a planned scout trip, we brought a couple of our 14 year old daughters into the mix. (Quote of the day:

Nice job! I took my then 6 year old through this one. I hear you about that anchor out of reach, sketchy.
Great report, it is a fantastic canyon.

Nice TR!
I was with @Slot Machine in there a couple weeks ago and that anchor was there already.
I climbed up to the chockstones to inspect the anchor. Not as scary as it looks once you get up there, but it does require some skill and confidence and is definitely exposed. Getting back down could also be tricky for most.
I can see how leaning out over that edge to thread the rope would be pretty scary too. I'm 6' tall and I stemmed up about a foot so that I was doing more reaching than leaning over the edge. @MiCamp (5'10" ish) was able to reach up and hook a locker into the rapide too. I didn't see him do it so not sure if he stemmed up a bit too. That anchor should maybe be extended, of course that might deter some from inspecting it... The chockstone you found sounds like it was a good move.
The brand new looking black webbing anchors are from our group. We came across fresh blue webbing in there also.

Great report! Looks like a fun crew!
We did not build the anchor at the 90 footer, it was already there. I probably would not have seen that anchor if it wasn't for my partners, it is in such a strange place.
Tony (@Absolute Gravity), made quick work of getting to that crazy anchor. There are two flat-ish footholds on your way up and over to the anchor that make the climb easier than it appears at first glance. His risk of falling was zero. After watching him make the moves, I'm pretty sure I could have done it. It's still a 6/10 difficulty for me, which translates into a 2/10 difficulty for him.THE MOST TALKED ABOUT CANYONEERING TRIP OF 2017 - WEST CANYON VIA HELICOPTER.

Nice work. I wouldn't consider Constrichnine a n00b-friendly canyon, you must be a heckuva leader.
Back in June I lost a pocketknife in that canyon at stage two of the (2nd?) rap. It may still be there ~ keep yer eyes peeled, you might score.
It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

Bad news RG...
While chatting with another fella about an unrelated matter, I discovered who found your knife. He traded it away before you posted that it was missing.
FWIW, it was found by a nice guy from out of state that would return it to you if he still had it.THE MOST TALKED ABOUT CANYONEERING TRIP OF 2017 - WEST CANYON VIA HELICOPTER.

I don't care if I don't get the knife back. I just hope someone else gets some use out of it.
