Oh what fun. The quintessential water park splasher canyon. The raps are small, the water clean and abundant. The narrows better than most expect. The company top shelf. And we threw the Hammerhead in for fun. Six raps, many of then long. Bo finds a log across the bushwhack and the scramble from the Hammerhead into the Left Fork is made easy. The Kipster leads on, across the ridge and right down to the Seeps where all suit up.
Stories are told as the group ambles down the watery corridor. It is too early for the best DNally stories, but all enjoy themselves. The canyon has several more raps than the last time through. Logs provide convenient anchors. The water is not too cold, as we back stroke our way through long, cave like swims, into the Das Boot. The log shimmy is now a rap. A chockstone has reappeared where a rap once was and then was gone. The log jam that was only there when the rap was around, is back, down canyon from the new chockstone. It had been gone a dozen years
Usually you get to the Subway sections and find them empty, the people long gone, in the late afternoon. On this day we encounter very slow groups, over a mile from the Subway proper. We ask them if they have headlamps. They do and they will use them.
At the Subways slide and waterfall room, smiles abound. I horse around on the cascade and slam to the deck, the carabiner, pointing out, beating my hip to the rock a just a little. OUCH!
The hike out is uneventful. Jenny jumps from behind a rock. I am too tired to be startled. We come in at a bit under 13 hours and then run the shuttle. A great day in a Zion Classic
