Everyday went for a run up Baldy for her first time. Since I'm extremely not doing that, I did a relaxing solo trip down San Antonio Falls.

Everything is in good nick. I wanted to redo the anchor high and canyon right on the big rapp down the sweet waterfall, but I only have red webbing at the moment so I just went off the normal canyon right one directly above the falls and out of the stream.

Seems the dry side anchor on the last rapp never got rebuilt. People kept stealing webbing from the two anchors to do batman shit up the 3-4th class approach to the top of the last falls. Cut it out, damn kids, or else, dangit.

Artsy dorky pic of last falls. Really low flow. Make up for it please, winter of 2012-2013. :-(

Thank God your color sense kicked in at the precise right moment and averted what could have been a color clash catastrophe.

Or worse -- the wrong colored webbing. :shock:

I wonder... it's a little too technical for most hooligans, I think. And there are no pools to jump in. It does get dirty with trash at the bottom. C'mon humans!
