Bogley newbie fest Spring 2018?
It's been a while since we've had an (advertised) newbie Bogleyfest, and it's been three years since I've been Canyoneering in Utah, so I now have decided that I'm back to Newbie status due to lack of recent experience.
Would anyone be interested in a Spring-fest in 2018 to get some fresh new impetus and learning? Say April or May?
In previous years I have enjoyed the Bogleyfests in Moab and at North Wash.
Your opinions would be welcome.

Oh yeah - Great idea! Our 2016 Moab one was fun too. It was a mix of canyon collective and Bogley members.
A big campground like at gold bar or along the Colorado east of town would be a good campsite for a lot of us.
I could possibly bring a bunch of single 30 year-old friends.

Moab is an absolute zoo in April and May. I'd highly recommend a different destination those months.
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.

I'd shoot for March, I don't see crowds as a problem when you're canyoneering only when you're trying to get fed. But the temp would be better in March I'd rather wear clothes than be hot.

Mark, I see this (and the subsequent posts) about Late Feb or early March for Moab.
I'm personally quite flexible on dates (I recall freezing my backside off at Sandthrax campsite in November one year ). Do you and the other "older hands" better qualified than I think Moab in late Feb/early March is a reasonable target for a fest?
Or another North Wash, or Swell? I'm open to suggestions.

I posted this invite on Bogley because I have had good trips and canyons (and hikes) with folk from here on Bogley.
I do actually keep an eye on CC; and see many of the same names.
Please can we keep any differences to a separate thread?

If someone is going, I'd love for someone to show us Krill. I have been through Lomatium, just need to knock off Krill.
@Rob L, which canyons are you wanting to do or redo? Wouldn't be a bad idea to get some ideas flowing.●Canyoneering 'Canyon Conditions' @ www.candition.com

Somewhere other than Moab, you might even get me to show up.
For better or worse.

We used to do a lot of fests based out of Hidden Splendor Airstrip, which allows for a lot of different canyons. I haven't been to a fest based there for many years. Just food for thought.
If you do the Roost probably have to base out of Granery Springs (Motel 6) as that's one of the few descent large group camping areas. For the most part camping in the Roost sucks as their are not many great campsites.

I'm down for whatever. But my wish list looks like this:
1. North Wash - (Poisonous trifecta, Shenany, Monkey Bi'ness, Foolin' Round, The Hogs, Maidenwater Loopty Loop)
2. Roost - (Mindbender, <----Not that, the Roosties, Larry, High Spur)
3. Swell - (Baptist Draw/Upper Chute, Squeeze, Knotted Rope, Q-Direct, Zero G, Eardley)
4. Zion - (Throw a dart)
5. Moab - (Entrajo, Arches stuff)
6. Shane's House
I like areas #1 and 2 early in the year because those canyons typically don't hold much water. And I'm not too jazzed about carrying around a bunch of neoprene in February.It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.
