Josh fillin up before heading out
First evening at camp
Zack downclimbing to the entrance to Keyhole
The entrance to Keyhole canyon
Zack didn't think water existed in Zion... and it's nice and ice cold :D
Zack in box of sunlight
Tadpoles...
...in Zack's hand
Out of Keyhole, less than 90min
No idea what this was of...
Back to the car, gear off drying, barefoot on the side of the road eating licorice!
The entrance to Pine Creek, right after Keyhole
Zack leading on
Zack and Josh bout to get wet
Setting up the first anchor
Zack starting down the Great Cathedral
Tried getting a picture of the steam coming off mine and Zack's bodies after that cold pool, but instead the camera made some freakish shield of light.... awesome, though!
I remind myself of the Crimson Chin...
Some owls that were rocking out, bobbin their heads, and watching us pass through
The exit of the cavernous section of Pine Creek... all outdoors and mostly dry from here
This is the big rock we took a break on. Got dry, drank, ate, etc etc etc...
Zack and Josh setting up the anchor to the next rap
Josh heading to the last anchor... I had to set this one up, for some reason it was freaking out both him and Zack. Also had to go first haha. I love this rappel.
Looking up the last rap of Pine Creek
The bottom of this rap used to be a shin-deep pool with a small dirt island in the middle. That was last September. The ceiling has since collapsed...
Zack's In The Wild pic
Zack and I looking out towards the exit hike down the stream
Some of these pools were ridiculously clear...
Magical green pool
Looking back towards the canyon exit
Clear water, colorful rocks
Another awesome pool and the stream flowing into it
Frog meeting
Gettin the harness off finally
Josh waiting up ahead after shooting on solo, as usual
Eating watermelon with a knife or cutting off my tongue, you decide
Starting Zack and I's hike up to Angel's Landing
Angel's Landing
Made him carry the pack for a few minutes, but he had a sunburn so not for too long :D
Zack pointing down off the edge... it was a nice size drop
Now looking over
Looking down the main Zion canyon from the top of Angel's Landing. Think it was around 3000 feet to the canyon bottom from the top here.
Angel's Landing panorama looking south
Angel's Landing panorama looking north
Part of the path up to the landing, with the chains to hold on to
More chains, going up
21 turns up a brick-walled path, this led up to Scout's Lookout
The pattern the shoulder straps left on Zack's baked shoulder
Gobble gobbles...
We wanted to rappel down this one so bad.
An Emerald Pool
Soaring walls
The third and last Emeral Pool
Messed this one up a little...
Zack sending ripples all through the pool
View from breakfast at the Zion Lodge... Pepperoni Pizza and a Pretztel. This will be our second time up to Scout's Lookout
Zack recoiling the 95' rope
Barrels of “HUMAN WASTE.“ Englishman coming out of the portajohn: “Bloody hell, that's the most foul thing I've ever smelled!”
Workhorses
Farther down the West Rim trail, heading to Behunin canyon
Looking out towards Behunin
Zack up top feeding me some more rope since I couldn't reach the next anchor with what we threw out
Face on the rock, near the middle. Two eyes and a big mouth, arches.
Zack against a burning blue sky
The horrendously disgusting pool we managed to avoid by climbing up higher and setting up a different rappel
The rappel we almost had to take into that pool of gross
Last picture of the day... third to last rap of Behunin, about 9:30pm, Zack somewhere down there weighting the rope
