Welcome. Many on the forum know the Escalante well, from Highway 12 to the Colorado.
It's probably not damaged from sitting in water. I've seen one recovered that sat for quite a while in canyon. It was fine. Sun is the biggest threat...
So basically the rescuers just had to get to the bottom, they didn't have to rappel with the victim. Seems like a routine long rappel scenario that...
Sounds like a good scenario to do a lower - rappel to me. No knot passing required, at least for the rescuer working with the victim. The second...
You could rig it with 2 people and still have the second guy rap off meat, assuming you had enough rope. For example, you could use the pull rope...
I'm using this one right now. Not cheap but seems to be holding up well....
What's the padding for? Why not have everyone but LAPAR rappel off meat, and then rig the toggle just for LAPAR. Easy to pad the edge with a meat...
I dare you to try it. .It's really hard to go back. Map, compass, and GPS all in one handy little app on a device you're carrying around to take...
Just a little sarcasm. I guess it's technically class C even if it's just a garden hose.
Fiddlestick in a class C?!!?!?! Gutsy! :)
Iphone in a waterproof case with Gaia on it. If you leave it on airplane mode and don't pull out the GPS too often, it'll last several days without a...
I suspect the LSDers don't care.
Up Red Pine today. Crossed snow easily several times way low in the woods. Looks like snow travel is still required to gain the main ridge from the...
You're right this is an issue. But I could literally spend every Saturday with a different newbie canyoneer who may never pay it forward. It's hard...
I wouldn't say that. I don't think new canyons can be found, they certainly can't be made, as fast as they are being published. The ratio of...
That's unfortunate if true.
Take crampons and an ice axe and start early for any of those. I wouldn't expect summer conditions until the first of July. When I've done Twin Peaks...
Whether those grooves are caused by pulling rope or simply bouncing (which does happen more with skinny SRT), they wouldn't be fixed with bolts. But...
I agree that dropping ropes instead of pulling them is huge, but even just the sawing from rappelling and the pulling of sandtraps is still grooving...
No offense, but this forum is by far the slowest of any forum that I regularly frequent. Bogley is absolutely dead. The r/canyoneering subreddit...
