Here is Matt Smith in the 4th narrows of Shenanigan’s. The committment to crawling is serious business. It is difficult and at times impossible to get upright again. I have no date for the picture. Perhaps 4 years ago or so? Matt? Picture by Rhett Chambers.

  • Thanks for posting a picture to prove I do get out canyoneering sometimes. It was a lot of fun getting to know many of you. You were all so patient with me throughout the canyon.

    Haha! Good times! We’ll see if she responds. I think she at least gets the digest emails.

    I think Headless was an eye opener for Holly as far as what’s out there. To that point all she knew existed were “rap n’ swim” Zion canyons.

    One thing I remember from that trip, Ram, is how incredible a teacher you are! Incredibly patient and able to explain movement so clearly and effectively to people.

    I like the gaze. Very Kelsey-esque

    “How’d that thing get up there?” To be fair, we’d just suited up, and waded around a bit in what Shane might call “kiddie narrows”; the helmet came on very shortly afterward. But yes, it comes on even sooner now, and stays on longer…

  • Here is Big John Diener some 50 feet off the deck, Malia behind him even higher, in Otisville Canyon, on exploration. April 14th 2012. Photo by Mike MacPhee. The canyon, rated R, starts with a rap right into a high stem. The stemming goes on and on, but lacks any real intimidating gapers or silos. Many elevator moves lead to the Otis reference in the canyon’s naming. This was the worst day of the slow moving storm in southern Utah, as we managed to luck out with the largely light rain passing all around us, but never really hitting us.

    No, that was Rhett’s picture. If you visit me in my home, I can pull out the projector and show you my shot…
