The Freeze Fest Camp - the morning after. After the big day, a get away canyon. A few years earlier, on a Freezefest, we had done the complete Stair Canyon. It was great fun, especially convincing various people that the best way to rappel into the pool was completely naked, rap in, swim, put your clothes back on - no problemo. It was a cold day, perhaps the coldest ever on a freezefest. But I digress. We found that the really good part of Stair Canyon was the upper half mile or so - a really nice not too scary stemming slot, a whole lot easier without packs. We decided it would make the perfect sport slot for days like today - short, fun, strenuous and really really good. All pictures this Canyon are MINE, all mine!!!

Padding up for the canyon. Denise and I, the smart ones, are down here, out of the wind, whilst the others, well...

Getting started in the canyon: Martina, Stefanos, Davide El Wyoming.

The warmup portion of the canyon, a couple fun little slot sections.

At the start of the Business, the ever-energetic Dave takes all the beautiful, functional packs (and some blue thing) up the slab to the side, where we would get them on the way out. This allows everyone to do the hard part of the canyon without baggage, well, at least without physical baggage.
