FreezeFest IV Dec 2005 / Jan 2006

I was looking for something gentle to do, as my shoulder was a little tweaked from Foolin' Around, and I wanted to hit the Black Hole with a good store of energy. So - how about a Leprechaun, again?

The evening before, our party was graced with those party animals from Utah County - Scott Card (the village idiot) and his bro Kevin, plus John the cook and two young bucks to carry the ropes. They were looking for something reasonable to do - Leprechaun it is!

Rather that do the lazy-man's drive around, we decided to hike up from camp on the "East Side Approach". One of the young bucks ran up the 5.4 slab (literally ran up!) and anchored a hand line for us old f..... uh, olderish types. Here's So-cal's lead Canyonette Randi Poeri charging up the slab...

We were also joined by two other canyoneers that wandered by - Graham and Jubi. Here is Graham tugging might-aly on the rope...

Didn't take many pictures on this day, as the battery was running down. Here's someone's butt rapping the entry rappel.

And Scott Card, on his first of many canyon adventures with us, I hope.
