FreezeFest V, Chambers Canyon, December 26th - 4

After the super-narrow slot, this wonderful subway section.

Dave modelling.

A tiny bit of sunlight at the break. A bit of lunch.

RAM: We rest and and wait for the picture takers. And wait, and wait and.....its cold. Up on the wall a patch of sun shines, just out of reach. Some of us climb, hard moves, no real exposure, to be in the beams. It is hard to balance there and even when you succeed, your feet grow weary. We eat and go to walking around and we wait and we wait and we....Finally, we are together. The picture takers want to eat now. Sorrie Charrie, I'm outta here!!

A boulder field divides the canyon cleanly. tight above, potholes and ups and down below. One particularly hard up climb challenges everyone.....except perhaps Aaron. Others say "No Big" but it sure looked like they were working hard to me!! This type of climbing is a delight. The canyon shows me that it can hold water. A lot of water, but today it is dry. Hard climbing does warm you up, I'll say that for it. Soon, we squeeze out the final slot, into a huge ballroom. Chambers slot is a done deal. I consider the place. Amy will laugh at me, during the first half, she will wipe that smirk off her puss on the second part, but I think she can handle it. We will go this spring.

Downslide to the lower section.

Malia thrutching up the hard upclimb, lower section.

Malia, Martina and Dave-of-the-inscrutable-smile-fame galumphing along.

The end of this slot is very interesting. Ram at rest, before being birthed.

Coming out the end of the lower slot.

A bit cold, down here in the shade.
