How did the water situation turn out?

Pretty good! They had gotten a fair amount of rain the week before we got there, so some potholes were filled. Probably dry by now unless they got rain after we left. There were also 3 or 4 springs we came across with ok water.

Also, I love Ding and Dang. Hope you had an awesome time.

Yeah there were a couple of really interesting chimneys in Dang and plenty of water (chest-deep in one spot). Nothing that couldn't be solved with a little creativity though. Would definitely go back. I now "get" why people get into technical canyoneering.
