Squeezing into a narrow section. What a fun canyon!!

Deb showing good form, at the start of the final section narrows. Swim ahead!!

Deb drops into the dark narrow slot, while Tom lounges in a hueco.

We split up for the hike out. Some for-went the final 100' rappel, and hiked back to the car. The rest of us hiked downcanyon, then over the ridge (with a few navigational challenges) to Sandthrax Canyon and camp. Halloween frivolities followed, including a wonderful potluck dinner.

Morning found the promised storm at least threatening, if not imminent. We considered several possibilities, then settled on a hike in the Swell.

Today, Matt's wonderful new puppy, Mr. Biggs, came with us. Here we have Mr. Biggs and Alicia.

Just for fun, we went for the balanced rap over the Wild Horse Window. Davey stands on the rope, Alicia contributes 25 lbs, and Tom is the ultimate anchor, while Carol rappels.

Mr. Biggs and some guy.
