20120228 Blacksmith Cyn First Descent
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2012 10:45 pm
Ty and I did this fun little canyon on Smith Mountain. A little bit of water. Fun, for once. Rating would be around 3BII, but if a lot of plants decide to grow like mad, the time commitment will go up a little. We didn't have much bushwhacking... yes, you heard that right. Nuts, eh?
ANYWHO, pix.
