    Hog I aka Boss Hawg

    TR HogI aka Boss Hawg

    I like doing this canyon with lots of body armor AND when it is cooler out - I don’t like to leave skin on the walls nor have a sweat fest wrapped in
    protective gear. This is a Butt Pad canyon meant for coolers temperatures. It was a nice day in the North Wash area.
    Hog I has lots of stemming, slip sliding, shimmying and squeezing. I do think most people could traverse this canyon down in the cracks but stemming
    higher up the walls through the tighter sections is so much more fun. There are smaller, almost imperceptive ledges up high that really help with the
    stemming.
    We climbed the traditional exit crack back to our vehicle on top of the Hog plateau That view from up there is extraordinary!

    Our Hog team consisted of me, my daughter Andrea(who has let her marriage get in the way of canyoneering), son Lorin and Charlie and Terresa. It was a
    great team. The day went by way too quick.

    Looks like a nice day Doug! But no spiders in the cold... I've always exited up the ridge between Hog 1 and Hog 2, how does the crack exit compare in terms of time and effort?

    Our Hog team consisted of me, my daughter Andrea (who has let her marriage get in the way of canyoneering by the way ), son Lorin and Charlie and Terresa from Colorado.
    For those that know Charlie (I'm not sure who all his friends are), he was in a really bad canyoneering accident yesterday. Maybe PM me if you do know him.
    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.

    It was a perfect day. No spiders, no biting bugs. no flies. . The Crack exit has some nice views all the way up, takes a tad less time and is a little easier than the ridge climb.
