    Rescue & Emergency Knives

    all I gotta add to this is do not get the Petzl Spatha .. terrible waste of money. I've seen a gerber knife like the spatha that's really nice. huge hole can fit onto any biner and just a way better design

    responsibility to fellow canyoneers?

    No, honestly when we ran into them we were thinking selfishly...how can we get past these slow pokes? they were super spread out so we didn't realize they were one big group till we passed them up. we didn't really talk or think about the fact they'd be staying overnight until we were down the...

    responsibility to fellow canyoneers?

    Yeah, that's one thing we thought about. What if SAR responded at dawn and then gave them a bill for rescue when they really didn't need much. We did make it clear that we didn't know if they needed a rescue but figured the info we could provide might be helpful if a rescue was needed. I've...

    responsibility to fellow canyoneers?

    I have a question I'd like to toss out to you guys. This past weekend I was out hitting Larry among other canyons in the roost. We started Larry at noon saturday and figured we'd be pushing sunset as we finished the canyon. We ran into a group of boy scouts who were clearly unprepared for the...

    High Spur

    Awesome TR, looks like a really fun canyon! agree with lost...I've seen more and more webbing lately. I swear we cut out 100ft of (cruddy) webbing this past weekend.

    Sterling ATS Descender

    obviously I love my ATS. my experience wit a piranha is limited but I chose the ATS over it because of its versatility. http://www.alpinets.com/ATScare.pdf You can flip to a high or low friction mode (the ats is curved). This alone has served me well on 99% of my rappels. There was a free...

    canon err 01 - lens contact dirty

    yikes, I haven't seen that actually. that's rather worrisome. For the record - body is a canon 60D, lens is a canon 15mm fisheye. I have successfully used my other lenses (mainly my 17-14L and 50mm prime) since then messing around up at Brighton and camera worked, at least as far as I can...

    canon err 01 - lens contact dirty

    so as I alluded to in my TR for quandary my 15mm fisheye has been giving me some issues. "err 01 - communication between camera and lens is faulty. clean lens contact" I've tried multiple times to clean it with rubbing alcohol, and then resorted to using an eraser. both proved to be in vain...

    I give up

    I can definitely relate here. I love editing photo's so I don't mind taking a gazillion. Its an artistic challenge. Video on the other hand is chore-ish ..for now. I feel like a lost child. I hope once I get the hang of things it will become a breeze and fun though.. and when I cut down on...

    Poison Springs: Arscenic, Constrychnine & Slideanide

    they're doable. the narrows aren't terribly tight. definitely not as tight as some of the lep canyons you've done

    Opinion?

    Definitely the first one. When I do HDR or fusion (which is what I almost always do now days) I typically blend it in PS that with the midtone (or favorite) exposure to bring a more natural look out but also keep the added dynamic range. I feel this gives me the best of both worlds.

    Quandary Canyon earns its name - Oct 2012

    This is one of those trips in retrospect you look back and go what an awesome disaster.. And wonder how you could be such an idiot sometimes. That said, here goes.. Last wed I was invited to do some canyoneering with a friend who I don't know super well. I ended up knowing 2 guys prior to the...

    GoPro HERO 3 - 1080p60 and 720p120

    man does it look amazing.. Like Nick, I picked up a hero2 about a month ago. Didn't even think there'd be a new on out so soon otherwise I would have waited. Oh well, I've been pretty happy with my 2 anyways.

    The Subway - Zion NP August 2012

    Catching up on my TR's... I was in the Anchorage airport being culture shocked back to civilization. Seriously...internet faster than dial up? what is this madness? and the ladies..yikes. I call it my alaskan goggles because the amount of good looking ones sky rocketed. ahem, Anyways, so there...

    Poison Springs: Arscenic, Constrychnine & Slideanide

    its not nearly as frightening as you might think. I'm scared to death of heights and I really love canyoneering. The scariest part is definitely the walk to the first rap of a canyon when its a bigger rappel. once you're rigged up and on rope you feel quite safe.

    Poison Springs: Arscenic, Constrychnine & Slideanide

    All of those shots (beyond the stars) are handheld, I don't dare nor really need to take my tripod.
