EISPIRATEN

Went for a real short hike with my buddy Chris. I chose Islip Cyn, as I had wanted to check that out for a long time, and AW had just been there.

Koopa in position for a Tyrolean Traverse... without a rope...


Koopa about to take a swim



The big falls


Demonstrating how this cool slide... isn't! Too shallow.

I'm gonna descend it from the top one of these days, once I have some rope. CM, AW, comments?

Nice to see Koopa Troopa swimming on all that melting snow

Loved the salamander or whatever it is

nice!...hopefully Koopa made it down without further incident

Koopa has just received a state-of-the-art biner for support! More to come.

Thats one cool toad for Islip...nice camo on that guy.

As far as human travel, looks like the most recent run was by the BAER team....

I wasnt impressed by the canyon potential overall. Struck me as just a nifty 'locals' place.

Thanks AW. Do you know if they did the whole thing top to bottom?

CM, AW, comments?

Can I come?

Nice critter collection.

I dont know. ...but they probably covered a lot of it....none of it is in beta form, so its almost like no one has been through there.

Well then, figure it needs someone to check it out!

Good to see Chris getting out to the canyons/mountains :thumbup: awesome!

Nice trip and as usual some unusual critters along the way! Koopa is getting acquainted with the local flora and fauna
