Canyon year
So... is it too early to post the annual how many canyons did you do this year post? It's always been a popular post in the past. I was self loathing about how little I got out this year because of school but when I broke it down to a list of how many canyons I did (not to mention riding days and climbing days) I started to feel better about myself. Here is my list for the year so far:
Trail
Boss Hog
Child's Play
Good Day Jim
Hard Day Harvey
Matacanes
Hydrophobia
Chipitin
El Salto
Labarinto
Choprock
Neon

Mystery
Keyhole

Middle Leprechaun
Black Hole attempt (failed due to LOTS of ice)
Left Leprechaun

Plans in December:
4 days at Freezefest in North Wash
Must do's for next year:
Heaps again
Chop again

More Powell stuff
Pandora's again

Let's see everyone's list.

Shenanigans -- with Rob, me, and your dad -- remember?
I'm boycotting this thread by the way -- such a blatant pissing contest.It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

Ooo, I'm jealous with how much you guys get out. I only get out occasionally and am limited on time so I'm stuck doing short routes.

Anyhow, here's my canyon list.

Lou Ellen (sp?)
Cathedral in the Desert
I think that's it.
Got plans to attend Freeze Fest too, but I hope to do something other than canyons the entire time. I wanna see some country beyond the canyons...some artwork and ruins and stuff...

now we are braggers? Actually it kind of shows what a loser I am. I'm pretty impressed with how much a lot of you married with kids guys get out, like You, Shane, Marc, etc... If I ever end up married with kids I hope I can get out half as much as you guys.

Finally, I can play! I can play!
First ever "technical" canyon was in mid-October, so I'm happy with:
West Leprechaun
West Blarney
Boss Hog
Cassidy
Plus October non-technical:
Spooky
Peekaboo
Coyote Gulch
plus lots of other less canyon-y stuff
Back in March, non-technical:
Buckskin/Paria all the way to Lees Ferry
April non-technical:
Horseshoe Canyon
and a bit of the Maze
Dang, it's been a good year - no, a great year! Gotta see how next year goes... I have a feeling it'll involve less total time in Utah than this year, but I think the quality will be good. And next year I'm really gonna lobby to make Freeze-fest. It's a no-go this year, sadly.

Nice Kev, the first canyons are always the best! Let us know when you will be out here again, I'd be willing to let you tag along.
