We come to an awkward rappel. Tom provides a meat anchor to speed things up. Tom is happy we have two 100-lbers that rappel off him.

Greg rapping off the actual anchor.

Downcanyon, a few interesting arches. Tom clambering downward.

Big drop territory. We had always hiked around this to the left, because it had water in it, and would be a pain. This time it was dry, and folks were game to set up an anchor and stay "in the watercourse". It had always looked like potentially troublesome potholes...

We slid into a pothole, farmed some rocks, and built a deadman. Here, Tom (that's me) is tying off the bottom rock.

The peanut gallery observes the frivolities from a safe distance.

Matt, our pothole escape frivolity expert, raps first. Tom supervising.

OH NO!!! It's a KEEPER! Matt pulls the 5.12 moves to escape the pothole...

Well, actually, all the potholes could be dodges with a little bouncing rappel. Davey B on rappel.
