Not Mindbender / Hog - November 12 and 13, 2005 - Page 2

Stacking another good rock atop. I'm hoping that, with the deadman closer to the surface, people will be more inclined to dig it up and replace the sling when needed.

We stacked a couple more rocks, then packed the whole thing in with sand. Looks good!
Brian went down with me backing up the anchor. Then...

I go down with a bottom belay from Brian, being careful. Will it hold?

Oh no!!! Rats, another anchor failure. Good thing I THINK I am 22 years old and indestructable!
After dusting myself off, we strolled downcanyon to the Moki step exit. I made quick work of this, and belayed the gazelles up...
We hike up toward the rim, as the lowering sun adds a golden glow to the terrain.
Ah. A fine day in the canyons, topped off by a beautiful sunset.
