| no partners | | This has been on my list for quite some time. A friend set this up and I eagerly signed on. A few of us were canyoneering for 6 straight days before this without a day off. in hindsight a rest day may have been warranted 
Day 1: got to the Picnic area near SK at 5am and had breakfast. took off close to 6. Quickly made our way out to the end of the clear creek trail. Seemed like it took forever - but only 7.5 hours or so Took a break and made it the rest of the way to the East fk. I was already hurting from the hike in and the prev 6 days so I was a bit concerned.
Day2: Start at functional light and made our way up to the Redwall break. From there it was a fun puzzle throught the Supai. IT was cairned so not so bad. We didn't find the last climb to get out of the supai right away so we ended up doing 15 feet or so of 5.10. Our leader, Keith handled it, but he wasn't prepared for such a stout climb and didn't pack climbing shoes so it was a little harder than expected. After a few of us were up(we jugged up) Bill found the actual route. Oops.
Got to the start of the Doghouse. Keith climbed the right line since there was more pro. It probabaly went about 5.8. I followed the line since I had to clean. The rest climbed the left side since it was easier. Pitch 2 was a fun chimney and easy scrambling. Had a nice long break at the top - luckily the wind held out
Day 3. OUt - loooong hike out. Ugh
Great to finally get this one done. |
