Lower Echo Canyon, Zion - May 15, 2009 - page 3

Jug #3: a long one, mostly vertical and overhanging.

Jug #4 - short, with a 90 degree edge

Jug #5: another short one with an awkward edge

Jug #6: another fairly short one.

Anchor for the numero six - high on the creativity side - excellent!!

Jug #7: fairly long, with an awkward finish.

Looking back at jug #8 - very short drop, essentially a hand line.

Jug #9: from a big, cold pool, up a corkscrew, longish, hard to pull the packs up.

Due to rope stretch, we cut a few of these too short - this was one of them. When Dave went up this one, he tied on a piece of webbing so we would be able to reach it.

Looking back at the first part of Jug #10.

Second part of Jug #10. Across a "semi-keeper" pothole, hop up on the log, jug up the flute. There is a bolt anchor for this one, but it creates a very awkward overhanging finish. We originally set the rope on the bolts, then Dave built a deadman so Bill and I could jug up the low-angle flute. Thanks Dave.

Bill jugging #11.
