  • Let us know if you do it and a report would be great. I was hoping to do it Friday preferable the direct route. Only 2 of 4 have wetsuits so escaping with be done by the other person and me with wetsuit to limit exposure. I hope they are in some kind of keeper mode hard to practice and teach others if you can just swim across.

    May opt for a quick run thru Zero G and the Golbin’s lair instead. I have yet to do a tech. canyon in the Swell so may end up doing Zero G for a fun, wet day to beat the heat.

    We hit a few Swell canyons last weekend – full to the brim as of Monday. I doubt the keepers will be an issue.

      Especially in this corner of the Swell, conditions in one canyon may or MAY NOT be consistent with other area canyons, including adjacent ones.

      As that great canyoneer of olde Tip O’Neil once said: “In weather, all canyoneering conditions are local”

  • One or two keepers. Lots of water and lots of mud. Have fun
