Scott helped me find my adventure limit last weekend. We went canyoneering in Zion. I had my first time a couple a years ago. This was more. It was really fun, beautiful, and exciting, but I've maxed out my level of "ohmygosh!Idon'tknowifIcandothis!"
I only cried once.
The big canyon we did was called Birch Hollow, just outside of Zion.
We parked at the top and hiked our way down.
When you get to a point when you can't hike, you rappel. This is what canyoneering is. If anyone cares.
Our first rappel was down this:
There is lots of climbing on, down and around rocks.
There are 2 funny things about this picture above.
1. I totally thought I was horizontal and thanking myself for doing plank position on occasion. Clearly I am no where near horizontal.
2. I did this to keep from walking in water up to my shins. Little did I know that we would be walking in LOTS of water much higher than my shins.
But...Scott was impressed enough to take a picture. So there's that.
Our longest of 10 rappels was 100 ft. EEEK! I couldn't get it all in the picture. This is Scott coming down.
Lots more rappels, but no picture of me crying.
Scott does have a heart.
It took about 6-7 hours. Far and away the worst part was hiking back up to the car. I was tired and sore from my fingertips to my toes. Scott barely flinched at the whole thing. I think he ate a big dinner. That was about it.
Anyone want to come next time?
