The kiss of death is if the first person over an obstacle makes it look difficult.
When I'm "guiding" I like to always pick someone to go first over an obstacle that will make it look easy. If the first person through makes it look easy there is a good chance everyone else will just blow over the obstacle with relative ease. If the first person struggles it's a safe bet many of those following will struggle. It's just the nature of the beast.

Fatigue matters too. And general attitude to risk. Seems a difficult climb from bottom at end of a longish day. Someone competent and experienced when physically drained is certainly a good idea. I am 50 and bring 20 year olds. They're often awesome and a highly recommended tool.

May is usually a really good time of year for all the Hidden Splendor canyons.

I agree with Shane, especially for early and mid May. Late May can be buggy, but May is a good time to go. Late September to mid October can be pretty good too.
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.

Wow. That looks like an awesome trip! I guess I'll get to experience my first "keeper" next year. I'd be nervous but I trust the guys that we go with, so I'll try not to think about it too much. Love those stripped leggings, gonna have to find me a pair of those :)

@RelentlessHiker
Thanks! It was great. It is pretty easy to defeat those potholes with a little teamwork. I think you'll be surprised.
