Set up a basic rapp station near Waterslide off Barrett-Stoddard. Then rapped off the bridge on that road, which was kinda cool for teaching controlling transitions to free rappels. The normal rappel into Waterslide wasn't feasible, since there is still a huge amount of water down there. One would probably have to swim out, which is cool, but not on a cool cloudy day with my new car with nice clean seats.

Setting up the rappel
Using a biner for leverage. Aids in faster raps with double ropes. Note that Reverso is "backwards" in these two pics. This works well to move a little more quickly down twin/double strands.
I don't remember what I was doing in this picture.

Someone's Subaru Legacy wagon had the back window broken out. I figure it's safe to assume someone who wasn't the owner did this.
been busy at work and haven't been back to the mountains in a while ...
