Then some pictures in the canyon.
We Omnisling the first drop in the canyon, which Spidey downclimbed (very scary) the last two times.

Levin on one of the many, many raps...

 |
|
Pulling the SandTrap on the same rap.
|
|
 |
Rick rapping into the "Arch Room". Ram shallow-water jumped this one last time - but the water was lower this time, so using the SandTrap seemed wise.
|
|
 |
Here's a drop we thought might be downclimbable, then a catch at the bottom... Ram down-sliding.
|
|
 |
|
Levin is the test-downclimber, checking it out for Brendan while on belay. (No problemo)!
|
And then there were a few drops and stuff like that. Which we did, using the SandTrap and the pot shots for getting across the GIANT KEEPER! We removed two of Goofball's bolts (with permission). We got past "the wart" by doing a climb-up - lower sandbags - to a guided rappel. Fun!!
Good to have it done, though 'projecting it' kind of takes away some substantial piece of the accomplishment.
Then down to the BIG, final rap. We had to bring sand from upcanyon. SandTrap rappel, 197 feet to the deck. Out in time for an easy dinner.
Next day, Ram takes the boys off to Happy Dog while Rick and I, on vacation, wander up the Fold.

Third day, shown here, Ram rallies the clan early to hit Baboon before hiking out to the boat.
Then we went home.
