    2014 canyon planning

    Thanks to mountaineer I started thinking about what is in store for me for canyons in 2014. My season was cut short last year so I am anxious to get started this year. Here is my short list:

    • Heaps
    • Englestead
    • Water Holes
    • Insomnia (I see a big air theme starting )
    • Neon
    • Big Canyon
    • Oak Creek (middle and lower)

    "As you journey through life, choose your destination well, but do not hurry there. You will arrive soon enough. Wander the back roads and forgotten path[s] ... Such things are riches for the soul. And if upon arrival, you find that your destination is not exactly as you had dreamed, ... know that the true worth of your travels lies not in where you come to be at journey

    If you are gonna do Neon, I would HIGHLY recommend doing Choprock in the same trip. Choprock is a Top 5 canyon without question.

    Look us up when you are ready for any of the Zion canyons if you need any company

    The below are on the wish list for this year.

    Late Winter:

    Hogwarts
    Bluejohn
    MMI
    Undercover

    Early Spring:

    Un-betaed Canyon Robbers Roost
    High Spur
    Sevenmile

    Late Spring:

    Squeeze/Segers Hole
    Morose
    Fivemile Wash
    Hog (not the one in North Wash)
    Ringtail
    Baker
    Davis Gulch

    Summer:

    Checkerboard
    Boundary and out Narrows
    Englestead
    Ouray stuff (CO)

    Fall:

    Badger (AZ)
    Cove (AZ)

    I'd also like to do Imlay again and would like to do Heaps, if I can find the right group. There are some un-betaed canyons I'd like to check out as well.
    Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

    What's the un-betaed canyon in the roost. I know the roost pretty well so any new stuff holds particular interest to me...

    Also, I've never heard of Morose...

    2014 canyon planning

    For me:

    Several unbetaed canyons

    I want to do Heaps and Imlay again but with really low water.

    Boundary

    Checkerboard

    Tons of Escalante stuff, including long branch, as well as some of the classics like neon and Choprock

    Something on the Inyo crest, Craig canyon maybe.

    Cable

    Poe

    A host of Powell stuff

    Something in the Willard spires

    Some west desert granite gems

    A Teton route that apparently involves "terrifying rappels into outer space" and has only been done once. But that starts to cross over into my alpine climbing plans.

    I've found some limestone stuff in Wyoming that I'm anxious to explore as well.

    So many slots, so little time.
