EISPIRATEN

Too cool for words. Pics with captions for now...

And stats...
-10 rappels
-2x 35m rapps
-1x 50-60m rapp (the big one)
-70m 9.8mm dynamic (!) rope
-Probable first descent
-Burned through all 40ft of webbing and all quick links
-Most fun I've had canyoneering. My first first-descent, I think.

That looks like a very nice canyon! You must take me down that some time!

Oh, yeah, I completely understand.

Vid doesn't work (for me at least): "Security error when loading URL over HTTP - Error #2048."

Amazing pics (and waterfalls) otherwise.

Jim, the "because racecar" thing is a joke: http://www.facebook.com/becauseracecar

sweet pics!

Im glad you got to it....eventually that place is going to be brushed away...so now we know...that drop is much taller than I thought....hehehe, the 'suicide canyon' of Glendora.

WAY more than we thought... looking at it from R39 for so long, I thought it would have 3-5 rapps, 60ft at the most...

This was my first canyoneering experience and I must say, it was one of the coolest things I have ever done! I've been looking for my own gear ever since haha.

It's not funny, Ryan. It's offensive.

ALso, how did you get all wet?

I too am offended, and I have contacted the ACLU to lodge a complaint, only to find out they won't cover me because I can't be offended.

Wait, nm. I thought you meant "racecard".

I figured out the wet part too, probably sweat from the heat.

Yeah, probably from the heat... right?

WAIT A SECOND...

Time to go on the offensive.
