Echo Canyon. 7/31/11
5 of us made our first trip through echo this weekend. We all had a great time. Started up the switchbacks around 730 to beat the heat. We were a little concerned about the rain, but once we reached the canyon the weather looked like it was going to hold out so we dropped in. The water wasn't nearly as dirty as previous reports have made it out to be. It was still pretty cold. You could see your breath while in the pools and the cameras kept fogging up. We all made it through with no problems and ended up with some really good lighting for pics because of the overcast skies. Definitely glad we all took wetsuits as all rappels are into water. Made it back to the shuttle around 12 and then it was pouring rain before we got back to the truck. Perfect timing and perfect trip through

If i recall last time i did echo i used a 20ft stick of webbing and hand lined everything, i never once put on my harness. does this sound about right, not sure if it was just because the water was high.
IT ALWAYS LOOKS HIGHER FROM THE TOP!!!!

you could hand line them, but not with only 20'. maybe 40' so you could pull it again. not nearly as safe as a harness though so unless speed is more enjoyable than just having fun then it could be done.
